Paper Abstract
The inversion of TIROS-N Operational Vertical Sounder measurements by the Improved Initialization Inversion (3I) Algorithm provides cloud parameters as well as atmospheric temperature and water vapor profiles. By the use of a cirrus radiation scheme based on Anomalous Diffraction Theory, that includes analytical expressions for extinction and absorption coefficients as function of ice particle shapes, size distribution parameters and wavelength, we study the possibility to infer information on cirrus microphysics at global scale from 3I data.
