Abstract

This paper reports the first collaborative application of a unique prism infrared spectrograph1-3 with other cloud sensing instrumentation directed to understanding the longwave radiative properties of cirrus clouds. The primary measurement reported here is the slope of the emission spectrum of a cirrus cloud in the 10-12 μm atmospheric transmission window. This measurement together with simultaneous cloud radar reflectivity and temperature measurements were used to infer cloud ice crystal size.
