It has been hypothesized that continuous ground-based remote sensing measurements
from collocated active and passive remote sensors combined with regular soundings of the
atmospheric thermodynamic structure can be combined to describe the effects of clouds on
the clear sky radiation fluxes. We critically test that hypothesis in this paper and...
A continuous flow diffusion chamber (CFDC) was used to measure ice formation by
cloud particle residuals during the Cirrus Regional Study of Tropical Anvils and Cirrus
Layers-Florida Area Cirrus Experiment. These measurements were directed toward
determining the relative contributions of homogeneous nucleation, heterogeneous
nucleation, and secondary ice formation processes to...
