Measurement errors in cirrus cloud microphysical properties [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1998 The limited accuracy of current cloud microphysics sensors used in cirrus cloud studies imposes limitations on the use of the data to examine the cloud's broadband radiative behaviour, an important element of the global energy balance.

Long-term trend analysis and climatology of tropical cirrus clouds using 16 years of lidar data set over Southern India [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015 Sixteen-year (1998–2013) climatology of cirrus clouds and their macrophysical (base height, top height and geometrical thickness) and optical properties (cloud optical thickness) observed using a ground-based lidar over Gadanki (13.5° N, 79.2° E), India,

Optical and geometrical properties of cirrus clouds in Amazonia derived from 1 year of ground-based lidar measurements [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 Cirrus clouds cover a large fraction of tropical latitudes and play an important role in Earth's radiation budget. Their optical properties, altitude, vertical and horizontal coverage control their radiative forcing, and hence detailed cirrus ...

An automated cirrus classification [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2018 Cirrus clouds play an important role in determining the radiation budget of the earth, but many of their properties remain uncertain, particularly their response to aerosol variations and to warming.

Cirrus clouds in a global climate model with a statistical cirrus cloud scheme [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2009 Abstract. A statistical cirrus cloud scheme that accounts for mesoscale temperature perturbations is implemented into a coupled aerosol and atmospheric circulation model to better represent both cloud fraction and subgrid-scale supersaturation in global climate models.

The Role of Global Thunderstorm Activity in Modulating Global Cirrus Clouds
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Cirrus clouds provide a significant radiative forcing on the Earth's climate system. This paper looks at the connection in space and time between monthly mean lightning activity observed from the Lightning Imaging Sensor on board the International Space ...

Aerosol–cloud–radiation interaction during Saharan dust episodes: the dusty cirrus puzzle [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 Dusty cirrus clouds are extended optically thick cirrocumulus decks that occur during strong mineral dust events. So far they have mostly been documented over Europe associated with dust-infused baroclinic storms.
