RISA Process Study of the Dependence of Ice Crystal Absorption on Particle Geometry: Application to Aircraft Radiometric Measurements of Cirrus Cloud in the Terrestrial Window Region
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The processes that contribute to the absorption of infrared radiation by atmospheric ice crystals are studied. The processes are separated into the geometric optics (i.e., refraction, internal, and external reflection) and ...
Retrieval of Tropical Cirrus Thermal Optical Depth, Crystal Size, and Shape Using a Dual-View Instrument at 3.7 and 10.8 μm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper the authors derive thermal optical depth at 3.7 and 10.8 ?m for tropical cirrus utilizing Along Track Scanning Radiometer data under nighttime conditions. By analytically solving the equation of radiative ...
