A Statistical Method for Determining Optical and Geometrical Characteristics of Cirrus Clouds

A Statistical Method for Determining Optical and Geometrical Characteristics of Cirrus Clouds

Altitude occurrences of cirrus clouds, their base, mid, and top heights are identified by using a powerful statistical approach called the Variance Centroid Method (VCM). This method is effective in determining the geometrical properties of cirrus clouds at a height range of 8 km to 20 km. This stat...
