Cloud top height (CTH) is an important factor influencing its radiative effects, weather and
climate change, and spaceborne passive radiometers widely used to retrieve CTH mostly …

In this study, various ice particle habits are investigated in conjunction with inferring the
optical properties of ice clouds for use in the Global Change Observation Mission-Climate …

Assessments of the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System Edition 4 (Ed4) cloud
retrievals are critical for climate studies. Ed4 cloud parameters are evaluated using …

Ice crystal submicron structures have a large impact on the optical properties of cirrus clouds
and consequently on their radiative effect. Although there is growing evidence that …

This study reports on the origin of small-scale ice crystal complexity and its influence on the
angular light scattering properties of cirrus clouds. Cloud simulation experiments were …
