Abstract
Cirrus cloud cover is of importance in understanding atmospheric radiation and the heat budget of the earth. The radiation properties of the cirrus clouds depend on several factors, such as shape, orientation and size distribution of the ice crystals and on bulk properties such as ceiling height and thickness of the clouds. One interesting aspect of the cirrus clouds is the question about the alignment of the ice crystals.
