Cloud Characterization

Cloud Characterization is the systematic analysis and identification of the physical and chemical properties of clouds in exoplanetary atmospheres through infrared observations, distinguished from broader atmospheric studies by its focused determination of cloud composition, particle size, spatial distribution, and radiometric impact on spectral signatures.
