Abstract

An algorithm for detecting specular-reflecting layers in high-level clouds was tested using passive satellite sounding data. We study cirrus clouds with an optical thickness of less than 5 consisting of horizontally oriented ice crystals, which was observed over the territory of Western Siberia from 2006 to 2007. A description of the technique for detecting specular-reflecting layers in high-level clouds and performing a statistical analysis of their parameters using MODIS data is presented. We discuss the seasonal-latitudinal dependences of the considered parameters of clouds over Western Siberia, which consist of horizontally oriented ice crystals.
