A measurement of the albedo of thick cirrus clouds at 3.9 microns
Cirrus (ice) clouds are often semitransparent (transmittance greater than zero, but less than one), which makes it difficult to measure fundamental cloud properties, such as albedo. This paper explores a way to measure the albedo of thick cirrus clouds (zero transmittance) at 3.9 microns using GOES...
