Short summary
Cirrus clouds play a vital role in regulating Earth's energy balance. However, they remain incompletely understood, representing a major source of uncertainty in the predictive performance of climate models. We show that  consistency between in situ measurements of cirrus cloud microphysics and ground-based remote sensing observations is achievable by simulating the emitted spectrum using current parameterizations of cirrus optical properties.
