Abstract
Thermal-infrared emission spectra from cirrus clouds taken with a unique prism spectrograph are combined with K/sub a/-band radar reflectivity measurements to obtain mass concentration and size information on the cirrus ice crystals. A two-stream radiation transfer model utilizing Mie scattering theory was used to infer the averaged effective ice sphere diameter which, for the cirrus studied, was near 50 mu m.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
