متن کاملRemote Sounding of Multilayer Cirrus Cloud Systems Using AVHRR Data Collected during FIRE-II-IFO
Surface observations show that multilayer clouds frequently occur in frontal areas where cirrus clouds overlie boundary layer convective clouds or stratus clouds. In this paper, an algorithm is presented for the retrieval of cirrus cloud optical depths and ice crystal sizes in multilayer cloud systems based on the theory of radiative transfer and parameterizations. For the validation of the ret...
متن کاملOn the limitation of using asymmetry factor for radiative transfer involving cirrus clouds
We investigate the limitation of using the asymmetry factor through the Henyey-Greenstein function in representing the scattering phase function for radiative transfer in ice clouds containing hexagonal ice crystals. Relative accuracy checks for solar fluxes are carried out using three cirrus cloud size distributions. The flux results computed from the Henyey-Greenstein phase function, based on...
متن کاملThe Relevance of the Microphysical and Radiative Properties of Cirrus Clouds to Climate and Climatic Feedback
This paper examines the effects of the relationship between cirrus cloud ice water content and cloud temperature on climate change. A simple mechanistic climate model is used to study the feedback between ice water content and temperature. The central question studied in this paper concerns the extent to which both the radiative and microphysical properties of cirrus cloud influence such a feed...
متن کاملRemote Sensing of Cirrus Cloud Parameters Based on a 0 . 63 - 3 . 7 μ m Radiance Correlation Technique Applied to AVHRR Data
Using the data gathered from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) 0.63 and 3.7 μm channels, an algorithm for the inference of cirrus cloud optical depth and mean effective size has been developed for the first time. This scheme is based on the correlation between the 3.7 μm (total) and 0.63 μm radiances that is constructed from radiative transfer calculations involving ice cryst...
