| Zusammenfassung |
The limited accuracy of current cloud
microphysics sensors used in cirrus cloud studies imposes limitations on the use
of the data to examine the cloud's broadband radiative behaviour, an important
element of the global energy balance. We review the limitations of the
instruments, PMS probes, most widely used for measuring the microphysical
structure of cirrus clouds and show the effect of these limitations on
descriptions of the cloud radiative properties. The analysis is applied to
measurements made as part of the European Cloud and Radiation Experiment
(EUCREX) to determine mid-latitude cirrus microphysical and radiative
properties.
