Cirrus clouds regularly cover approximately 20% of the globe 1 . Understanding laser and other electo-optical transmission in the presence of cirrus clouds is an important consideration for astronomical observations, various lidar systems, and new laser systems like the USAF Airborne Laser. Simulated cirrus cloud data generated by the Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) is used as input to a laser propagation code developed at University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). This code computes realistic laser transmission values through a 1-D cirrus cloud layer. Results are examined for a real data simulation of a thin cirrus case in the FIRE (First ISCCP (International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project) Regional Experiment) Cirrus II field campaign during November 1991.
