Optical and geometrical properties of cirrus clouds in Amazonia derived from 1 year of ground-based lidar measurements

Optical and geometrical properties of cirrus clouds in Amazonia derived from 1 year of ground-based lidar measurements

Cirrus clouds cover a large fraction of tropical latitudes and play an important role in Earth's radiation budget. Their optical properties, altitude, vertical and horizontal coverage control their radiative forcing, and hence detailed cirrus measurements at different geographical locations are...
