Creator:

Garrett, T. J., Navarro, B. C., Twohy, Cynthia, Jensen, E. J., Baumgardner, D. G., Bui, P. T., Gerber, H., Herman, A. J., Heymsfield, P., Lawson, P., Minnis, P., Nguyen, L., Poellot, M., Pope, S. K., Valero, F. P. J., and Weinstock, E. M.

Abstract:

This paper presents a detailed study of a single thunderstorm anvil cirrus cloud measured on 21 July 2002 near southern Florida during the Cirrus Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus Layers–Florida Area Cirrus Experiment (CRYSTAL-FACE). NASA WB-57F and University of North Dakota Citation aircraft tracked the microphysical and radiative...

Small, highly reflective ice crystals in low-latitude cirrus

Creator:

Garrett, T. J., Gerber, H., Baumgardner, D. G., Twohy, Cynthia, and Weinstock, E. M.

Abstract:

At low latitudes, cirrus are ubiquitous and can be in excess of 100°C colder than the surface, limiting the amount of sunlight absorbed by the earth’s atmosphere and surface, and reducing its loss of heat. Here we present aircraft measurements within cirrus over southern Florida indicating that ice crystals have...
