In the atmosphere, microphysics refers to the microscale processes that affect cloud and
precipitation particles and is a key linkage among the various components of Earth's …

In this study, various ice particle habits are investigated in conjunction with inferring the
optical properties of ice clouds for use in the Global Change Observation Mission-Climate …

The knowledge of properties of ice crystals such as size, shape, concavity and roughness is
critical in the context of radiative properties of ice and mixed-phase clouds. Limitations of …

We present a new remote sensing technique to infer the average asymmetry parameter of
ice crystals near cloud top from multi-directional polarization measurements. The method is …

Mineral dust interacts with incoming/outgoing electromagnetic radiation in the atmosphere.
This interaction depends on the microphysical properties of the dust particles, including size …

Snow consists of non-spherical grains of various shapes and sizes. Still, in many radiative
transfer applications, single-scattering properties of snow have been based on the …

Abstract The NASA Airborne Tropical Tropopause Experiment (ATTREX) deployment in
January–March 2014 yielded more than 34 h of cirrus cloud sampling in the tropical …

A novel automatic classification method is proposed for identifying the habits of large ice‐
cloud particles and deriving the shape distribution of particle ensembles. This IC‐PCA (Ice …

Light scattering by particles large compared to the wavelength of incident light is traditionally
solved using ray optics which considers absorption inside the particle approximately, along …

The radiative transfer theory with packed media correction (RTT-PM) is a balanced,
physically rigorous, and practical light scattering model that is suitable for modeling …
