It has been shown that cirrus clouds are very complex in both the horizontal and vertical directions. These clouds are not homogeneous in either direction and can not be assumed so. Their complex structure needs to be viewed throughout a mesoscale sized volume to accurately describe the cirrus cloud spatial structure. These clouds have to be accurately described to understand the radiation balance in the Earth's atmosphere. The data set studied was only for a three hour time period. To better understand the general properties of the cirrus cloud spatial structure, a larger set of cirrus cloud data needs to be analyzed.
