Exploring the Surface Roughness of Small Ice Crystals by Measuring High Resolution Angular Scattering Patterns
نویسندگان
چکیده
Surface roughness of atmospheric ice particles is an important yet poorly investigated microphysical property in the context of the climate impact of cirrus and mixedphase clouds. Measurements of single particle two-dimensional light scattering patterns have been shown to be a promising method to identify particle roughness in natural clouds. This method was applied in a laboratory study on the surface roughness properties of small ice particles that have been grown under simulated cirrus conditions.

Effects of surface roughness with two scales on light scattering by hexagonal ice crystals large compared to the wavelength_ DDA results
The effect of ice crystal surface roughness on light scattering by ice crystals which are large compared to the wavelength was studied, in particular changes to the 2D scattering patterns, azimuthally averaged phase functions, degree of linear polarisation patterns and asymmetry parameters for a range of orientations and roughness scales. It was found that roughness has an effect on light scatt...

1. INTRODUCTION Cloud feedbacks are the largest source of uncertainty in climate models. In particular, uncertainties exist concerning the radiative forcing of clouds containing ice crystals, most notably cirrus. Indeed, whether cirrus clouds warm or cool the Earth's surface depends on ice crystal morphology. Reducing this uncertainty requires detailed in situ characterization of cloud particle...

Improvement of large scale models developed to study the impacts of global changes in polar regions requires a better knowledge of the variability of the different parameters that control fluid dynamics and thermodynamics budgets at the interfaces. In the part of a fluid influenced by the presence of a solid interface, surface roughness is one of the key parameters that control momentum as much...
