Cirrus clouds play a key role in Earth's radiative balance and climate. This study uses radar and lidar data from A-Train satellites, combined with the Identification and Classification of Cirrus ...
Researchers at the Institute for Meteorology at Leipzig University have, for the first time, determined the climatic impact of contrails that form within natural cirrus clouds. Contrails account for ...
Long-lived contrails form predominantly not in cloud-free skies, but within already existing ice clouds. This is the conclusion reached by a team of scientists from Forschungszentrum Jülich, the ...
