Journal ArticleDOI
Aerosol properties over Interior Alaska from lidar, DRUM Impactor sampler, and OPC-sonde measurements and their meteorological context during ARCTAS-A, April 2008

TL;DR: In this paper, a case study analysis conducted on 19 April 2008 using a balloon-borne optical particle counter suggests that the majority of the suspended particulate matter consisted of coarse mode desiccated aerosol having undergone long-range transport.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cirrus cloud iridescence: a rare case study.
TL;DR: It is concluded that iridescence is rarely seen in midlatitude cirrus clouds because populations of such small particles do not exist for long in the presence of the relatively high water-vapor supersaturations needed for ice-particle nucleation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Possible halo depictions in the prehistoric rock art of Utah
TL;DR: In one case in which an Archaic-style petroglyph satisfactorily reproduced a complicated halo display that contained parhelia and tangent arcs, sufficient geometricinformation is rendered to indicate a solar elevation angle of ~ 40° at the time of observation.

Journal ArticleDOI
Parameterization of Infrared Absorption in Midlatitude Cirrus Clouds
TL;DR: In this paper, a new approach based on combined Raman lidar and millimeter-wave radar measurements and a parameterization of the infrared absorption coefficient σa (km−1) in terms of retrieved cloud microphysics is derived.
