The deposition ice nucleation and immersion freezing potential of amorphous secondary organic aerosol: Pathways for ice and mixed‐phase cloud formation (2012, background): “Cirrus clouds cover approximately 20% of the Earth’s surface and can have a net positive radiative forcing [Chen et al., 2000].”
Cloud ice: A climate model challenge with signs and expectations of progress (2007, background): “[2] Upper tropospheric ice clouds that cover large spatial scales and persist in time strongly influence global climate through their effects on the Earth’s radiation budget [Chen et al., 2000; Hartmann and Short, 1980; Liou, 1976; Ramanathan et al., 1989; Ramanathan and Collins, 1991; Randall and T”
Modification of cirrus clouds to reduce global warming (2009, background): “Of the nine cloud types considered in Chen et al (2000), cirrus clouds (visible optical depth 3.6, cloud top pressure 440 mb) had the greatest impact on top-of-atmosphere (TOA) longwave fluxes and had a global annual mean net warming of +1.3 W m−2.”
ML-CIRRUS : The airborne experiment on natural cirrus and contrail cirrus with the high-altitude long-range research aircraft HALO (2017, background): “Altogether, the radiative impact of midlatitude cirrus is not well quantified, in particular the solar albedo effect of the ice particles is poorly constrained (Chen et al. 2000; Yang et al. 2012).”
