3-D polarised simulations of space-borne passive mm/sub-mm midlatitude cirrus observations: a case study

Global observations of ice clouds are needed to improve our understanding of their impact on earth's radiation balance and the water-cycle. Passive mm/sub-mm has some advantages compared to other space-borne cloud-ice remote sensing techniques. The physics of scattering makes forward radiat...
