Abstract
Infrared and visible cirrus cloud optical properties were measured using ground-based high spectral resolution remote sensing data. The optical properties include: downwelling atmospheric radiance at infrared wavelengths in addition to atmospheric aerosol backscatter cross-section and depolarization at a visible wavelength. Data was acquired at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, during a 3 month case study from October through early December, 1995. The instrument suite included: a High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) (Piironen and Eloranta, 1994), an Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) (Revercomb et al., 1993), and a Cross-chain Loran Atmospheric Sounding System (CLASS).
