Abstract: Empirical data on transmission functions are used to set up a general program to calculate the infrared radiation flux in the atmosphere in the two major regions of water vapor absorption. These empirical data are used as ...

Abstract: Significant enhancements in humidity around cumulus clouds, that is, the ?cloud halos? observed in many aircraft penetrations, are simulated using a three-dimensional dynamic model. Five case studies show that humidity ...

Abstract: Regions of enhanced humidity in the vicinity of cumulus clouds, so-called cloud halos, reflect features of cloud evolution, exert radiative effects, and may serve as a locus for new particle formation. Reported here are ...
