Revisiting global satellite observations of stratospheric cirrus clouds [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 As knowledge about the cirrus clouds in the lower stratosphere is limited, reliable long-term measurements are needed to assess their characteristics, radiative impact and important role in upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) chemistry.

On the Transition of Contrails into Cirrus Clouds
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2000 In situ observations of the microphysical properties of upper-tropospheric contrails and cirrus clouds have been performed during more than 15 airborne missions over central Europe. Experimental and technical aspects concerning in situ characterization of ice clouds with the help of optical and nonoptical detection methods (preferably FSSP-300 and ...

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 ...

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,

Properties of ice cloud over Beijing from surface Ka-band radar observations during 2014–2017 [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2020 The physical properties and radiative role of ice clouds remain one of the uncertainties in the Earth–atmosphere system. In this study, we present a detailed analysis of ice cloud properties based on 4 years of surface millimeter-wavelength radar ...

Investigating an indirect aviation effect on mid-latitude cirrus clouds – linking lidar-derived optical properties to in situ measurements [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2023 Aviation has a large impact on the Earth's atmosphere and climate by various processes. Line-shaped contrails and contrail cirrus clouds lead to changes in the natural cirrus cloud cover and have a major contribution to the effective radiative forcing ...

In Situ Measurements of Cirrus Clouds on a Global Scale [PDF]
Atmosphere, 2020 Observations of high-altitude cirrus clouds are reported from measurements made during the routine monitoring of cloud properties on commercial aircraft as part of the In-Service Aircraft for a Global Observing System. The increasing global scale of the measurements is revealed, with 7 years of in situ data producing a unique and rapidly growing ...
