متن کاملGlobal Modeling of the Contrail and Contrail Cirrus Climate Impact
conditions, their direct radiative effect is mainly determined by coverage and optical depth. The microphysical properties of contrail cirrus likely differ from those of most natural cirrus, at least during the initial stages of the contrail cirrus life cycle (Heymsfield et al. 2010). Contrails form and persist in air that is ice saturated, whereas natural cirrus usually requires high ice super...
متن کاملSimulations of Contrail Optical Properties and Radiative Forcing for Various Crystal Shapes
The aim of this study is to investigate the sensitivity of radiative-forcing computations to various contrail crystal shape models. Contrail optical properties in the shortwave and longwave ranges are derived using a ray-tracing geometric method and the discrete dipole approximation method, respectively. Both methods present good correspondence of the single-scattering albedo and the asymmetry ...
متن کاملConsideration of Dynamical Effects on Parameterization of Clooud radiative Properties
Effective radius (re) (defined as the ratio of the third to the second moment of a droplet size distribution) is one of the key variables that are used for calculation of the radiative properties of liquid water clouds (Hansen and Travis 1974). The inclusion and parameterization of re in climate models has proven to be critical for assessing global climate change (Slingo 1990, Dandin et al. 199...
