Satellite observations of seasonality and long-term trends in cirrus cloud properties over Europe: investigation of possible aviation impacts [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2022 Linear contrails and contrail cirrus induced by global aviation have long been known to contribute to climate change by warming the atmosphere. Besides increasing global cirrus cloudiness, aviation may also alter the properties of natural cirrus clouds ...

Climatological and radiative properties of midlatitude cirrus clouds derived by automatic evaluation of lidar measurements [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2016 Cirrus, i.e., high, thin clouds that are fully glaciated, play an important role in the Earth's radiation budget as they interact with both long- and shortwave radiation and affect the water vapor budget of the upper troposphere and stratosphere. Here,

The role of ASM on the formation and properties of cirrus clouds over the Tibetan Plateau
Tellus: Series B, Chemical and Physical Meteorology, 2019 Cirrus clouds play a significant role in the Earth’s energy balance and in the hydrological cycle of the atmosphere. Here, a high-performance Micro Pulse Lidar was continuously used to investigate cirrus cloud formation and characteristics at Ali (32.50 ...

Active Imaging through Cirrus Clouds
Optics Express, 1997 The presence of clouds of ice particles in the uplink and downlink path of an illumination beam can severely impede the performance of an active imaging system. Depending on the optical depth of the cloud, i.e., its density and depth, the beam can be completely scattered and extinguished, or the beam can pass through the cloud with some fraction ...

Parameterization of single scattering properties of mid-latitude cirrus clouds for fast radiative transfer models using particle mixtures [PDF]
, 2008 A new parameterization of single scattering properties has been developed for mid latitude cirrus clouds, to be used in weather prediction and global circulation models. Ice clouds are treated as a mixture of ice crystals of different habits.

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.
