Classifying stages of cirrus life-cycle evolution

Classifying stages of cirrus life-cycle evolution

Airborne lidar backscatter data is used to determine in- and out-of-cloud regions. Lidar measurements of water vapor together with model temperature fields are used to calculate relative humidity over ice (RHi). Based on temperature and RHi we identify different stages of cirrus evolution: homogeneo...
