Is aerosol formation in cirrus clouds possible? [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2007
The recent observation of ultrafine aerosol particles in cirrus clouds has raised the question whether aerosol formation within cirrus clouds is possible, and if so, what mechanisms are involved.

Study of mesoscale phenomena, winter monsoon clouds and snow area based on LANDSAT data [PDF]

open access: yes
The author has identified the following significant results. Most longitudinal clouds which appear as continuous linear clouds are composed of small transversal clouds.

On the distribution of relative humidity in cirrus clouds [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2004
We have analysed relative humidity statistics from measurements in cirrus clouds taken unintentionally during the Measurement of OZone by Airbus In-service airCraft project (MOZAIC). The shapes of the in-cloud humidity distributions change from nearly

Lidar cloud studies for FIRE and ECLIPS [PDF]

open access: yes
Optical remote sensing measurements of cirrus cloud properties were collected by one airborne and four ground-based lidar systems over a 32 h period during this case study from the First ISCCP (International Satellite Cloud Climatology Program) Regional ...

The October 27-28, 1986, FIRE cirrus case study: Cloud microstructure [PDF]

open access: yes
Using aircraft in-situ measurements, the microphysics of cirrus clouds observed on 28 Oct. 1986 during FIRE were examined. Results are presented as one component of a coordinated study of the cirrus on the day.

Cirrus parameterisation and the role of ice nuclei. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
A parametrization of cirrus clouds formed by homogeneous nucleation is improved so that it can be used more easily in general-circulation models (GCMs) and climate models.

Changes in Daytime Cirrus Properties From the ISCCP‐H Data Set and Their Impacts on the Radiation Energy Budget

open access: yesEarth and Space Science
The change in clouds during the day is critical to the Earth's energy balance and climatic evolution. However, there have been relatively few studies on cloud variations at daily timescales, owing to limitations of ground‐ and satellite‐observations ...

Climatology of Cirrus Clouds over Observatory of Haute-Provence (France) Using Multivariate Analyses on Lidar Profiles

open access: yesAtmosphere
This study aims to achieve the classification of the cirrus clouds over the Observatory of Haute-Provence (OHP) in France. Rayleigh–Mie–Raman lidar measurements, in conjunction with the ERA5 dataset, are analyzed to provide geometrical morphology and ...

A four-lidar view of Cirrus from the FIRE IFO: 27-28 October 1986 [PDF]

open access: yes
The four ground-based lidar systems that participated in the 1986 FIRE IFO were configured in a diamond-shaped array across central and southern Wisconsin.
