Experimental and theoretical spectral reflection properties of ice clouds generated in a laboratory chamber

Abstract

In a preliminary experimental program, the measured bidirectional reflection properties between 1.0 and 3.5 µm from a grating spectrometer with a resolution of approximately 0.1 µm for ice crystal clouds generated in a cold chamber are compared with theoretical results computed from a line-by-line equivalent solar radiative transfer model. The theoretical calculations are based on the measured habits, concentrations, and sizes of the ice particles from replicas of the ice crystals that show a mean maximum size of approximately 7 µm. The experimental design was first tested with transmission measurements in a pure water-vapor environment that compare closely with theoretical expectations. Within the uncertainties and in consideration of the assumptions necessitated by the preliminary nature of this program, there is a close comparison between the experimental and theoretical results.
