Aerosols interact with radiation and clouds. Substantial progress made over the past 40
years in observing, understanding, and modeling these processes helped quantify the …

Results from 22 airborne field campaigns, including more than 10 million high‐resolution
particle images collected in cirrus formed in situ and in convective anvils, are interpreted in …

Ice particle formation in tropospheric clouds significantly changes cloud radiative and
microphysical properties. Ice nucleation in the troposphere via homogeneous freezing …

This study presents airborne in situ and satellite remote sensing climatologies of cirrus
clouds and humidity. The climatologies serve as a guide to the properties of cirrus clouds …

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 …

Understanding the formation and evolution of ice in clouds requires detailed information on
the size, shape, mass, and optical properties of individual cloud hydrometeors and their bulk …

Clouds in Earth's atmosphere can be composed of liquid droplets, ice crystals, or a
combination of the two. Clouds' thermodynamic phase is largely controlled by temperature …

The formation of ice particles in the atmosphere strongly affects cloud properties and the
climate. While mineral dust is known to be an effective ice nucleating particle, the role of …

Tropical cirrus clouds, ie, any type of ice cloud with tops above 400 hPa, play a critical role in
the climate system and are a major source of uncertainty in our understanding of global …

Water vapor measurements of midlatitude cirrus clouds, obtained by the WAter vapour Lidar
Experiment in Space (WALES) lidar system during the Mid-Latitude Cirrus (ML-CIRRUS) …
