In this review paper the light scattering properties of naturally occurring ice crystals that are
found in cirrus are discussed. Cirrus, also referred to as ice crystal clouds, due to their cold …

Cirrus is composed of non-spherical ice crystals, and against the blue background of the
sky, they appear as tenuous wispy clouds, usually located at altitudes greater than about …

The double-moment cloud microphysics scheme from ECHAM4 that predicts both the mass
mixing ratios and number concentrations of cloud droplets and ice crystals has been …

Cloud microphysics parametrizations control the transfer of water between phases and
hydrometeor species in numerical weather prediction and climate models. As a fundamental …

Particle size distributions measured by the UK C‐130 aircraft in ice stratiform cloud around
the British Isles are analysed. Probability distribution functions over large scales show that …

Ground-based vertically pointing and airborne/spaceborne nadir-pointing millimeter-
wavelength radars are being increasingly used worldwide. Though such radars are primarily …

Radar Scattering from Ice Aggregates Using the Horizontally Aligned Oblate Spheroid
Approximation in: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology Volume 51 Issue 3 (2012) …

A multispectral scanning spectrometer was used to obtain measurements of the bidirectional
reflectance and brightness temperature of clouds, sea ice, snow, and tundra surfaces at 50 …

Photographs of nearly 73,000 snowflakes in free fall are used to determine the aspect ratio
and orientation of aggregates, moderately rimed particles, and graupel. Observations …

The effects of particle inertia, particle shape, and fluid shear on particle rotation are
examined using direct numerical simulation of turbulent channel flow. Particles at the …
