Aircraft-produced contrail cirrus clouds contribute to anthropogenic climate change.
Observational data sets and modelling approaches have become available that clarify …

This article reviews developments towards assimilating cloud‐and precipitation‐affected
satellite radiances at operational forecasting centres. Satellite data assimilation is moving …

libRadtran is a widely used software package for radiative transfer calculations. It allows one
to compute (polarized) radiances, irradiance, and actinic fluxes in the solar and thermal …

Assessment of Global Cloud Datasets from Satellites: Project and Database Initiated by the
GEWEX Radiation Panel in: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society Volume 94 Issue 7 …

Optical properties of clouds and heavy aerosol retrieved from satellite measurements are the
most important elements for calculating surface solar radiation (SSR). The Himawari …

A data library is developed containing the scattering, absorption, and polarization properties
of ice particles in the spectral range from 0.2 to 100 μm. The properties are computed based …

A process‐based treatment of ice supersaturation and ice nucleation is implemented in the
National Center for Atmospheric Research Community Atmosphere Model (CAM). The new …

The goal of this chapter is to synthesize information about what is now known about one of
the three main types of clouds, cirrus, and to identify areas where more knowledge is …

As satellite observations at high microwave frequencies have recently become available,
there is an increasing demand for methods that accurately evaluate the single-scattering …

The National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, Japan) started
the Terahertz Project in April 2006. Its fundamental purpose in the next five years is to …
