Estimates of cloud particle size and infrared optical depth were inferred from multi-spectral observations of contrails and cirrus during the SUbsonic aircraft: Contrails and Cloud Effects Special Study (SUCCESS) experiment on 20 April 1996. The particles in a newly formed contrail were generally smaller than those in an older contrail, while the microphysics of the older contrail resembled the surrounding cirrus. Split-window retrievals of contrails were sensitive to changes in surface temperature and surface emissivity. ¿ 1998 American Geophysical Union
