Improvements in Shortwave Bulk Scattering and Absorption Models for the Remote Sensing of Ice Clouds (2011, background): “…extensive libraries of the microphysical and single-scattering properties that were developed for a variety of ice-crystal habits, including droxtals (Yang et al. 2003; Zhang et al. 2004), three-dimensional bullet rosettes, solid and hollow columns, plates, and aggregates (Yang et al. 2000).”
Angular Distribution Models for Top-of-Atmosphere Radiative Flux Estimation from the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System Instrument on the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Satellite. Part II; Validation (2003, background): “Ice clouds are composed of a mixture of crystal habits including bullet rosettes, aggregates, and hollow columns (Yang et al. 2000) with a size distribution given by the ‘‘Ci (Cold)’’ case described in Baum et al. (2000).”
Bulk Scattering Properties for the Remote Sensing of Ice Clouds. Part I: Microphysical Data and Models. (2005, background): “For the scattering calculations, the aggregate is composed of a random number of columns attached to each other (Yang et al. 2000; Baum et al. 2000).”
Tropical composition, cloud and climate coupling experiment validation for cirrus cloud profiling retrieval using cloudsat radar and CALIPSO lidar (2010, background): “Those can be fitted from in situ measurements of mass, extinction, and maximum length [Brown and Francis, 1995; McFarquhar et al., 1999] or from directed calculation assuming certain particle habits or shape [Yang et al., 2000].”
An observationally based evaluation of cloud ice water in CMIP3 and CMIP5 GCMs and contemporary reanalyses using contemporary satellite data (2012, methodology): “The ice cloud microphysical model assumes a first-order Gamma particle size distribution of idealized non-spherical ice crystals [Yang et al., 2000].”
Optical properties of terrestrial clouds (2004, methodology): “…the characterization of optical properties of ice clouds, which have extremely complex microstructure (Liou, 1992, 2002; Liou and Takano, 1994; Macke et al., 1996; Yang and Liou, 1998; Kokhanovsky and Macke, 1999; Yang et al., 2000, 2001) and appear almost with the same frequency as water clouds.”
Single scattering properties of droxtals (2003, background): “Because of the importance of ice crystal morphology, a number of studies have been carried out to calculate the single-scattering properties of ice crystals for various shapes [3,4], although a pristine hexagonal geometry, such as hexagonal columns, is assumed frequently for ice crystals in many app”
Angular Distribution Models for Top-of-Atmosphere Radiative Flux Estimation from the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System Instrument on the Terra Satellite. Part II: Validation (2005, methodology): “…clouds in the 1D calculations have effective radius of 10 m (section 3a) and ice clouds are composed of a mixture of crystal habits including bullet rosettes, aggregates, and hollow columns (Yang et al. 2000) with a size distribution given by the “Ci (Cold)” case described in Baum et al. (2000).”
