Abstract: A methodology of employing statistical procedures, specifically the principal component analysis (PCA) technique, to assess cirrus cloud data reliability is described. The approach is demonstrated by an example of a study ...

Abstract: Observations of halos and related phenomena due to ice crystals are commonly reported from ground observations and presented in the literature. Nevertheless, ice crystal characteristics have only been poorly documented ...

Abstract: his study illustrates the high potential of RALI, the French airborne radar?lidar instrument, for studying cloud processes and evaluating satellite products when satellite overpasses are available. For an Arctic nimbostratus ...

Abstract: omogeneous freezing of supercooled droplets occurs in convective systems in low and midlatitudes. This droplet-freezing process leads to the formation of a large amount of small ice particles, so-called frozen droplets, ...
