Abstract

A multiple-scattering radiative transfer model is employed to evaluate the 11 micrometre and the broad-band infrared (IR) fluxes, cooling rates and emittances in model cirrus clouds for a number of standard vertical atmospheric profiles of temperature and moisture. The results reveal IR reflectance at the cloud base of 4% (spheres) and 6% (cylinders). -from Author
