Optical Properties and Phase of Some Midlatitude, Midlevel Clouds in ECLIPS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Several cloud optical quantities were measured for the first time in midlevel, mixed-phase clouds. These included cloud infrared emittance and absorption coefficient (10?12 ?m), effective backscatter-to-extinction ratio, ...
LIRAD Observations of Tropical Cirrus Clouds in MCTEX. Part I: Optical Properties and Detection of Small Particles in Cold Cirrus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents further results on the optical properties of tropical and equatorial cirrus using the light detecting and ranging (lidar) radiometer (LIRAD) method. The results were obtained from observations in the ...
The Optical Properties of Equatorial Cirrus from Observations in the ARM Pilot Radiation Observation Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The optical properties of equatorial cirrus were studied during a three-week period of the ARM Pilot Radiation and Observation Experiment at Kavieng, Papua New Guinea, in January and February 1993. The experiment consisted ...
