Ground-based remote sensing of thin clouds in the Arctic

This paper describes a method for using interferometer measurements of downwelling thermal radiation to retrieve the properties of single-layer clouds. Cloud phase is determined from ratios of thermal emission in three "micro-windows" at 862.5 cm<sup>&minus;1</sup>, 935.8 c...
