Acknowledgments

We gratefully acknowledge the continuing support over the years from the NASA Science Mission Directorate; Earth Science Division, and especially Drs. Hal Maring, Ramesh Kakar, and Don Anderson for their encouragement. The success of the effort depends critically upon the collaborations built within the scientific community, and we are grateful for the positive discourse we have had with our colleagues.

The current NASA proposal in support of this work is:

"Ice Cloud Bulk Scattering and Absorption Models: Refinement through Intercomparison of Hyperspectral, Narrowband, and Polarization Sensors”." Funding is provided for years 2011-2013 by the NASA Science Mission Directorate; Earth Science Division (Dr. Ramesh Kakar). Co-investigators include Dr. Ping Yang (Texas A&M University) and Dr. Andrew Heymsfield (National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, CO).

Previous NASA proposals in support of this work:
