Abstract

The scattering and reflection components of the remotely measured effective beam emmittance of high clouds are calculated using a detailed model of radiative transfer through cirrus. 2 atmospheric profiles of temperature and humidity are used representing tropical and midlatitude summer atmospheres respectively. The scattering and reflection components of the measured beam emittance are shown to be appreciable. -from Authors
