AN INTERCOMPARISON OF MICROPHYSICAL RETRIEVAL ALGORITHMS FOR UPPER-TROPOSPHERIC ICE CLOUDS

The large horizontal extent, with its location in the cold upper troposphere, and ice composition make cirrus clouds important modulators of the Earth’s radiation budget and climate. Cirrus cloud microphysical properties are difficult to measure and model because they are inhomogeneous in nature and...
