The field of light‐scattering characterization of single particles has seen a rapid growth over
the last 30 years largely due to the progress in measurement and simulation capabilities. In …

Understanding the formation and evolution of ice in clouds requires detailed information on
the size, shape, mass, and optical properties of individual cloud hydrometeors and their bulk …

This study reports on the origin of small-scale ice crystal complexity and its influence on the
angular light scattering properties of cirrus clouds. Cloud simulation experiments were …

During typical field campaigns, millions of cloud particle images are captured with imaging
probes. Our interest lies in classifying these particles in order to compute the statistics …

The article presents the laser scattering and depolarisation instrument SIMONE that is
installed at the large aerosol and cloud chamber facility AIDA of the Karlsruhe Institute of …

The number and shape of ice crystals present in mixed-phase and ice clouds influence the
radiation properties, precipitation occurrence and lifetime of these clouds. Since clouds play …

Cirrus clouds and their impact on the Earth's radiative budget are subjects of current
research. The processes governing the growth of cirrus ice particles are central to the …

The novel aircraft optical cloud probe PHIPS-HALO has been developed to establish clarity
regarding the fundamental link between the microphysical properties of single atmospheric …

Ice growth from vapor deposition is an important process for the evolution of cirrus clouds,
but the physics of depositional ice growth at the low temperatures (< 235 K) characteristic of …

Mixed phase clouds (MPCs) represent a great source of uncertainty for both climate
predictions and weather forecasts. In particular, there is still a lack of understanding on how …
