Abstract

Mechanisms of glory (optical phenomenon observed on clouds) in view of new experimental aircraft researches of the cloud microphysics are considering. New data were received in research flights of ROSHYDROMET YAK-42D aircraft in polar and central regions of Russia. Data on the cloud particle size distribution are presented, and conditions of occurrence of glory on these clouds are discussed.
