The aim of this review is to consider optical characteristics of terrestrial clouds. Both single
and multiple light-scattering properties of water clouds are studied. The numerous results …

Abstract Himawari-8/9—a new generation of Japanese geostationary meteorological
satellites-carry state-of-the-art optical sensors with significantly higher radiometric, spectral …

As the world looks for low-carbon sources of energy, solar power stands out as the single
most abundant energy resource on Earth. Harnessing this energy is the challenge for this …

Optical properties of clouds and heavy aerosol retrieved from satellite measurements are the
most important elements for calculating surface solar radiation (SSR). The Himawari …

The libRadtran software package is a suite of tools for radiative transfer calculations in the
Earth's atmosphere. Its main tool is the uvspec program. It may be used to compute …

A data library is developed containing the scattering, absorption, and polarization properties
of ice particles in the spectral range from 0.2 to 100 μm. The properties are computed based …

The single-scattering properties of ice particles in the near-through far-infrared spectral
region are computed from a composite method that is based on a combination of the finite …

This study reports on the use of in situ data obtained in midlatitude and tropical ice clouds
from airborne sampling probes and balloon-borne replicators as the basis for the …
