The effective density of small ice particles obtained from in situ aircraft observations of mid-latitude cirrus
(2013-10)
The effective ice-particle density, parametrized through a mass–dimension relation, is widely used in ice microphysical schemes for weather and climate models. In this study, we use aircraft-based observations in mid-latitude ...
Modelling light scattering by rough particles and particulate layers using RTDF
(2013-06-20)
Computations of light-scattering properties for non-axisymmetric particles based on exact methods like the T-matrix [1] and discrete dipole approximation (DDA) [2] have upper size parameter limits of applicability, depending ...
Light scattering by Gaussian rough ice crystals : experimental and modelling results
(2013-06-17)
It is qualitatively well understood that ice and mixed-phase clouds have an important role in the radiation balance and climate of the Earth [1,2]. However, quantitative understanding of these clouds is poor, and is one ...
Miniature, low-cost optical particle counters
(2013)
A range of miniature, low-cost optical particle counters for characterizing atmospheric particles has been developed. They are intended for use with disposable balloon-borne radiosondes, dropsondes or in dense ground-based ...
