Cirrus infrared parameters and shortwave reflectance relations from observations

A summary of experimental observations and analysis of cirrus from high-altitude aircraft remote sensing is presented. Characteristics of the observed cirrus angular reflectance pattern correlate well with, and are explained by, the results that were found for the solar zenith angle dependence of th...

Description
Summary:A summary of experimental observations and analysis of cirrus from high-altitude aircraft remote sensing is presented. Characteristics of the observed cirrus angular reflectance pattern correlate well with, and are explained by, the results that were found for the solar zenith angle dependence of the emittance and reflectance.
