Influence of crystal shapes on radiative fluxes in visible wavelength: ice crystals randomly oriented in space
Radiative properties of cirrus clouds are one of the major unsolved problems in climate studies and global radiation budget. These clouds are generally composed of various ice-crystal shapes, so we tried to evaluate effects of the ice-crystal shape on radiative fluxes. We calculated radiative fluxes...
