Cloud phase discrimination by near-infrared remote sensing.

A ground-based near-infrared spectroradiometer was built and used to measure relative spectral reflectance from cumulus congestus and cumulonimbus clouds during the 1985 and 1986 Arizona summer monsoon seasons. Thermodynamic phase was inferred from spectral features in the regions between 1.55-1.75μ...
