It remains challenging to accurately classify complicated clouds owing to the various types of clouds and their distribution on multiple layers. In this paper, multi-band radiation information from the geostationary satellite Himawari-8 and the cloud ...

Abstract Integrating the attention‐based view with the strategic leadership interfaces perspective, we propose a theoretical model of situational urgency mechanisms influencing the allocation of CEOs' attention towards responsive actions. Specifically, we theorize upon the role of humility, which leads CEOs towards embracing interfaces and makes them ...

Revealing halos concealed by cirrus clouds
Abstract. Many types of halos (including arcs) appear in the sky. Each type of halo corresponds to the shape and orientation of ice crystals in clouds, and reflects the state of the atmosphere; therefore observing them from the ground greatly helps in understanding the state of the atmosphere.

Factors controlling contrail cirrus optical depth
Aircraft contrails develop into contrail cirrus by depositional growth and sedimentation of ice particles and horizontal spreading due to wind shear.

Measurement and modeling of diffuse ultraviolet radiation: A review
Solar UV radiation consists of direct and diffuse UV components. The diffuse component contributes to the exposure received by humans and to the risk of skin cancer and sun‐related eye disorders. This review aims to determine future research directions for the measurement and modeling of diffuse solar UV radiation.

Abstract At infrared wavelengths many thin, low mass dust clouds are observed at high galactic latitudes. In this paper a number of observations, including optical observations related to these “cirrus” clouds are discussed. The clouds are excellently suitable for studies of grain properties and of the surrounding radiation field.

Influence of crystal shapes on radiative fluxes in visible wavelength: ice crystals randomly oriented in space [PDF]
Radiative properties of cirrus clouds are one of the major unsolved problems in climate studies and global radiation budget. These clouds are generally composed of various ice-crystal shapes, so we tried to evaluate effects of the ice-crystal shape on

First Observations of Cirrus Clouds Using the UZ Mie Lidar over uMhlathuze City, South Africa
Clouds cover more than two-thirds of the earth’s surface and play a dominant role in the energy and water cycle of our planet. Cirrus clouds are high-level clouds composed mostly of ice crystals and affect the earth’s radiation allocation mainly by ...

A Novel Ice Cloud Optical Property Model for Passive and Active Remote Sensing Applications
Abstract A new broad‐spectrum ice cloud optical property model, namely the Passive‐Active Remote Sensing Consistent (PARSC) model, is developed to achieve consistency between passive and active sensor‐based ocean‐occurring ice cloud property retrievals.
