Abstract

Results of the complex lidar and actinometric studies of the characteristics of cirrus containing crystalline ice particles are discussed. The greatest attention is paid to clouds consisting of horizontally oriented ensembles of ice crystals. Orientation of the crystalline particles in clouds is estimated from the backscattering phase matrix, which is determined based on the data obtained with the polarization lidar directed vertically to the zenith. Solar radiation fluxes are measured using the standard methods with an actinometer and a pyranometer. It is shown that under certain weather conditions ice crystals at altitudes of cirrus formation can be oriented horizontally, which significantly affects the transmission of solar radiation.
