Abstract

Recent observations during FIRE have indicated the presence of small ice crystals in cirrus clouds. The presence of this small particle mode has a significant impact on the cloud radiative properties. This paper demonstrates the feasiblility of an 8 and 11 μm channel for monitoring the frequency of occurance and the global distribution of cirrus clouds containing this small particle mode.
