| 内容記述 | Observations are presented of cirrus cloud radiative, microphysical, and dynamic properties, their variability, and apparent scale sizes, as observed from NCAR Sabreliner on October 28, 1986. Broadband mass-absorption coefficients were deduced as a function of depth into the cirrus cloud and found to vary with particle dimension. Broadband volume absorption coefficients were deduced. By employing a diffusivity factor of 1.49 this agreement was maximized. Calculated infrared heating rates were typical of thin cirrus layers. The cloud top cooling and cloud base warming were observed to become more accentuated for the denser portions of cloud. The broadband emittances due to the cloud aerosol were found to approach 0.5 to 0.6. The cirrus clouds were observed to exhibit significant horizontal variability and a significant amount of scatter was evident when attempting to relate the broadband infrared and shortwave radiative properties. It is suggested that these radiative properties, which are modulated by the cloud elements, have their scales determined by the eddies detected in the analysis of wind components. |
