RISStudy of Ice Crystal Orientation in Cirrus Clouds Based on Satellite Polarized Radiance Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The goal of this paper is to retrieve information about ice particle orientation in cirrus clouds. This is achieved by comparing simulations of sunlight reflection on a cirrus cloud with measurements of polarized radiances ...
Impact of Transport Schemes on Modeled Dust Concentrations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A sensitivity study is performed with the CHIMERE-DUST chemistry transport model in order to evaluate the modeled mineral dust spread due to the horizontal transport scheme accuracy. Three different schemes are implemented ...
Classification of Ice Crystal Shapes in Midlatitude Ice Clouds from Three Years of Lidar Observations over the SIRTA Observatory
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents a study of ice crystal shapes in midlatitude ice clouds inferred from a technique based on the comparison of ray-tracing simulations with lidar depolarization ratio measured at 532 nm. This technique ...
Microphysical and Optical Properties of Cirrus and Contrails: Cloud Field Study on 13 October 1989
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the intensive International Cirrus Experiment conducted over the North Sea during fall 1989, natural cirrus and contrail-induced cirrus were analyzed from in situ and remote sensing measurements (lidar and infrared ...
Remote Sensing of Cirrus Radiative Parameters during EUCREX’94. Case Study of 17 April 1994. Part II: Microphysical Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, a quantitative analysis of in situ and radiative measurements concerning cirrus clouds is presented. These measurements were performed during the European Cloud and Radiative Experiment 1994 (EUCREX?94) as ...
Contributions of Clouds, Surface Albedos, and Mixed-Phase Ice Nucleation Schemes to Arctic Radiation Biases in CAM5
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Arctic radiation balance is strongly affected by clouds and surface albedo. Prior work has identified Arctic cloud liquid water path (LWP) and surface radiative flux biases in the Community Atmosphere Model, version 5 ...
Remote Sensing of Cirrus Radiative Parameters during EUCREX’94. Case Study of 17 April 1994. Part I: Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the intensive European Cloud and Radiation Experiment 1994 (EUCREX?94) conducted off the coast of Brittany (France) over the Atlantic Ocean during April 1994, natural cirrus have been analyzed from in situ and remote ...

Cirrus Cloud Properties Derived from POLDER-1/ADEOS Polarized Radiances: First Validation Using a Ground-Based Lidar Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Bidirectional polarized reflectances measured with the POLDER-1 instrument on board Advanced Earth Observing Satellite-1 have been used to infer cloud altitude and thermodynamical phase (ice/liquid) at a global scale. This ...
Greenland clouds observed in CALIPSO-GOCCP: comparison with ground-based Summit observations.
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: paceborne lidar observations from Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) provide the first-ever observations of cloud vertical structure and phase over the entire Greenland icesheet. ...
