Journal ArticleDOI
Midlatitude cirrus cloud climatology from the Facility for Atmospheric Remote Sensing. IV. Optical displays
TL;DR: It is found that complex halo-arc displays are rare at the authors' locale and that even the so-called common 22 degree halo occurs infrequently as a complete long-lived ring.
Journal ArticleDOI
Angular scattering and rainbow formation in pendant drops
TL;DR: In this article, a polar nephelometer employing a linearly polarized laser source is used to examine the general scattering behavior and rainbow generation of pendant water drops, a type of near-spherical particle that has certain similarities to the shape of distorted raindrops.
Cirrus Parcel Model Comparison Project
TL;DR: The Cirrus Parcel Model Comparison (CPM) project as mentioned in this paper is a project of the GEWEX Cloud System Study Working Group on Cirrus Cloud Systems (GCSS WG2).
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulated polarization diversity lidar returns from water and precipitating mixed phase clouds
TL;DR: Water cloud results reveal the expected increases in linear depolarization ratios (delta) with increasing lidar field of view and distance to cloud but also show thatdepolarization is a function of cloud liquid water content, which depends primarily on temperature.

TL;DR: The Mixed-Phase Arctic Cloud Experiment (M-PACE) as discussed by the authors was conducted on the North Slope of Alaska from September 27 through October 22, 2004 to collect a data set suitable to study interactions between microphysics, dynamics and radiative transfer in mixed-phase Arctic clouds.
