Bin Zhao,Kuo-Nan Liou,Yu Gu,Jonathan H. Jiang,Qinbin Li,Rong Fu,Lei Huang,Lei Huang,Xiaohong Liu,Xiangjun Shi,Hui Su,Cenlin He +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of aerosols on ice crystal effective radius (R ei ) under different meteorological conditions using 9-year satellite observations were investigated, and it was shown that the responses of R ei to aerosol loadings are modulated by water vapor amount in conjunction with several other meteorological parameters.

Ping Yang,Heli Wei,Hung-Lung Allen Huang,Bryan A. Baum,Yong X. Hu,Kuo-Nan Liou,Michael I. Mishchenko +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a database of the optical properties of nonspherical ice crystals at the infrared wavelengths was developed and a fast infrared transfer model under cirrus cloudy condition, which is applied to the retrieval of ice clouds from satellite-based infrared measurements.

Calculation on the light scattering function of hexagonal ice crystals
Qiming Cai,Kuo-Nan Liou +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of light absorption on phase function may cause decreases of scattering energy in side direction and the directions near backscattering, and weaken halo and rainbow peaks which are induced by the refractions and internal reflections.
