Cirrus and water vapor in the tropical tropopause layer observed by Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) [PDF]

, 2003
The Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) is sensitive to water vapor and ozone in the lower stratosphere. The Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer (CLAES), another of the instruments on UARS, has a spatial and ...

Weather Rescue at Sea: Recovering Historical Weather Observations From 19th Century British Naval Ships

Geoscience Data Journal, Volume 13, Issue 2, April 2026.
We present the Weather Rescue at Sea dataset, generated from a citizen‐science project which transcribed millions of weather observations contained in 19th Century UK Royal Navy ship logbooks. This corrected and quality‐assured dataset will enhance historical reconstructions of the pre‐modern climate by providing more input meteorological data ...

Optical Spectroscopy of Galactic Cirrus Clouds: Extended Red Emission in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium [PDF]

, 1997
We present initial results from the first optical spectroscopic survey of high latitude Galactic cirrus clouds. The observed shape of the cirrus spectrum does not agree with that of scattered ambient Galactic starlight.

Water in cirrus clouds

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1984
Meteorologists from the University of Utah have discovered water droplets as cold as −36°C at the base of cirrus clouds, the coldest temperatures at which liquid water has been confirmed in clouds. Because earlier models of radiation transfer in the atmosphere had assumed that the clouds at cirrus‐layer altitudes (6,000–12,000 m) were composed only of ...

Evaluating methods for high‐resolution, national‐scale seagrass mapping in Google Earth Engine

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 292-304, April 2026.
Marine habitat mapping using satellite imagery can provide baseline and monitoring data across large spatial scales and in remote locations globally. This study evaluates how key methodological choices influence the accuracy of open‐source (for non‐commercial use), cloud‐based satellite mapping workflows for seagrass meadows in the Maldives.

Development of a Detailed Microphysics Cirrus Model Tracking Aerosol Particles' Histories for Interpretation of the Recent INCA Campaign [PDF]

, 2006
International audienceCirrus clouds play an important role in the earth's energy balance. To quantify their impact, information is needed on their microstructure and more precisely on the number and size of the ice crystals.

Properties of Cirrus Cloud Observed over Koror, Palau (7.3°N, 134.5°E), in Tropical Western Pacific Region

Remote Sensing
This study presented an analysis of the geometric and optical properties of cirrus clouds with data produced by Compact Cloud-Aerosol Lidar (ComCAL) over Koror, Palau (7.3°N, 134.5°E), in the Tropical Western Pacific region. The lidar measurement dataset

The Colorado/Missouri 1989 cirrus mini IFO [PDF]

A series of experiments with aircraft were planned for Nov. and Dec. 1989 to study cirrus ice crystal nucleation mechanisms and to test new aircraft instrumentation. The measurements were conducted using the NCAR Sabreliner and King Air.
