A comparison of the results of passive satellite data and ground-based lidar observations of specularly reflecting layers in the high-level clouds is presented. The registration episodes of cirrus, cirrostratus and cirrocumulus clouds over Tomsk in the period from 2015 to 2017 are considered. Cloud groups with different locations of randomly and mostly oriented in the horizontal plane particles are distinguished. The description of observation episodes for specularly reflecting layers in high-level clouds above Tomsk is given. The analysis results of the meteorological situation in the studied region based on the aerological data of the weather stations Kolpashevo and Novosibirsk are presented. The scheme of the laser system Loza-S used in the observations is shown. The lidar signal records and the degree of depolarization for the studied registration episodes of high-level clouds are presented. The cloud parameters description and thematic products of satellite imagery is described. The results of obtai­ning cloud characteristics at the moments of observation of specularly reflecting layers from MODIS satellite data are discussed. Promising directions for the development of this work are proposed with the aim to improve the quality of clustering of selected cloud groups, as well as understanding its role in ongoing climate change. Assumptions are made regarding the possibility of using passive satellite methods to determine the orientation of crystalline particles in the high-level clouds.
Keywords: lidar measurements, microphysical parameters, high-level clouds, particle orientation, solar radiation, satellite data, cloud characteristics
