Abstract: Current understanding and knowledge of the composition and structure of cirrus clouds are reviewed and documented in this paper. In addition, the radiative properties of cirrus clouds as they relate to weather and climate ...

Abstract: The discrete-ordinate method for radiative transfer introduced originally by Chandrasekhar has been theoretically developed and numerically verified for use in solving the transfer of both solar and thermal infrared radiation ...

Abstract: Transmission, emission and reflection characteristics of cirrus clouds in the 800?1200 cm?1 window region are obtained by means of solving the transfer of infrared radiation in the realistic moist and dry model atmospheres. ...

Abstract: Band-by-band calculations have been carried out to evaluate the reflection, absorption and transmission of solar radiation by cloud layer and model cloudy atmospheres in the entire solar spectrum. The radiation transfer ...

Abstract: Computations of the intensity and linear polarization for single scattering by ice clouds have been made based on the assumption that the particles in ice clouds can be approximated by long circular cylinders which are ...
