Monitoring cirrus clouds over Tomsk and measurements of solar radiation in the atmospheric surface layer

摘要

A complex experiment on the investigation of radiation characteristics of cirrus is performing since 2016. In theexperiment, solar radiation fluxes are measured near the Earth’s surface and the orientation degree of ice crystals incirrus is estimated using a polarization lidar. Results of the experiment are discussed. Significant effect of the orientationdegree of particles in cirrus on the transmission of solar radiation is established in a number of experiments.
