Height of Cirrus Cloud [PDF]

Nature, 1872
IT would be interesting if any of the readers of NATURE could give some information respecting the usual height of cirrus clouds. Mr. Clement Ley, in his work, “The Laws of the Winds,” states—“The time occupied by these clouds in passing from the zenith to 45°, or the contrary, furnishes us with a standard of measurement which is both convenient for ...

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...

An Optimized Parameterization of Sub‐Grid Scale Advection for Convection Permitting Models

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Convection‐permitting models (CPMs) explicitly resolve deep convection yet under‐resolve the organized lateral exchanges among drafts and their environment that control entrainment/detrainment, precipitation efficiency, and mesoscale structure.

Subtropical and Polar Cirrus Clouds Characterized by Ground-Based Lidars and CALIPSO/CALIOP Observations

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
Cirrus clouds are product of weather processes, and then their occurrence and macrophysical/optical properties can vary significantly over different regions of the world.

How does the lifetime of detrained cirrus impact the high-cloud radiative effect in the tropics? [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
The lifetime of cirrus clouds from deep convection plays an important role in determining their overall cloud radiative effect (CRE). The net CRE of cirrus clouds from deep convection is close to zero over their whole lifetime.

Dust Decline Amplifies High‐Cloud Ice‐to‐Liquid Transition and Buffers the Radiative Feedback Under Warming

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract The response of the cloud phase to global warming is a critical yet poorly constrained component of Earth's climate sensitivity. While rising temperatures drive a thermodynamic transition from ice to liquid clouds, the role of ice‐nucleating particles in modulating this shift remains underexplored.

Measurements of Terminal Velocities of Cirrus Clouds in the Upper Trosphere

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2016
Cirrus clouds are composed of ice crystals condensed from humidity due to low temperature condition in the upper atmosphere. The microphysics of cirrus clouds including sizes and shapes of ice particles are not well understood but are important in ...

Multi‐Sensor Spatiotemporal Fusion for 30‐m Daily Gapless Snow Cover Mapping

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract High spatiotemporal resolution remote sensing data is crucial for monitoring heterogeneous mountainous snow cover. Although spatiotemporal fusion presents a promising approach for high‐resolution snow monitoring, cloud contamination and sparse observations remain a critical constraint on its large‐scale and long‐term implementation. To address

Contrail Formation Within Cirrus: Contrail Induced Perturbations and Cirrus Adjustments

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 8, 28 April 2026.
Abstract Contrail formation constitutes a large fraction of the aviation climate impact. But only part of the effect has been studied in detail, as research focused on contrail formation in cloud‐free air. Even though it is known that the impact of contrail formation within cirrus can be detected in space‐born remote sensing data, little research has ...

Characteristics of Cirrus Clouds from Different Formation Mechanisms

Journal of Remote Sensing
Cirrus clouds, formed through various atmospheric processes, vary in distribution and microphysical properties, playing distinct roles in regulating Earth’s radiative balance.
