Microphysical Processes in Cirrus and Their Impact on Radiation: A Mesoscale Modeling Perspective; 20. Cirrus, Climate and Global Change; 21. Cirrus: The FutureAbstracts:As the next generation weather satellites are being designed, the impact of cirrus on remote sensing and the global energy budget must be recognized and accommodated. This book, devoted entirely to cirrus clouds, captures the state of knowledge of cirrus and serves as a practical handbook as well.Table of contents:1. Cirrus: History and Definition; 2.
