Measurements of Terminal Velocities of Cirrus Clouds in the Upper Trosphere

Measurements of Terminal Velocities of Cirrus Clouds in the Upper Trosphere

Cirrus clouds are composed of ice crystals condensed from humidity due to low temperature condition in the upper atmosphere. The microphysics of cirrus clouds including sizes and shapes of ice particles are not well understood but are important in climate modeling. Ice crystal will fall under gravit...
