TL;DR: The Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Cloud Assessment as discussed by the authors provides the first coordinated intercomparison of publicly available, standard global cloud products (gridded monthly statistics) retrieved from measurements of multispectral imagers (some with multiangle view and polarization capabilities).

Hélène Chepfer,Sandrine Bony,David M. Winker,G. Cesana,Jean-Louis Dufresne,Patrick Minnis,Claudia J. Stubenrauch,S. Zeng +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the GCM-Oriented Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) Cloud Product (GOCCP) designed to evaluate the cloudiness simulated by general circulation models (GCMs).

TL;DR: There have been specific improvements in representations of modes of variability (such as the Madden‐Julian Oscillation and other modes in the Pacific) and significant improvements in the simulation of the climate of the Southern Oceans, including sea ice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ubiquitous low-level liquid-containing Arctic clouds: New observations and climate model constraints from CALIPSO-GOCCP
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) observations to document cloud phase over the Arctic basin during a five-year period (2006-2011).
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the cloud thermodynamic phase in a climate model using CALIPSO‐GOCCP
G. Cesana,Hélène Chepfer +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a cloud phase identification (liquid, ice, or undefined) in the Global Climate Model (GCM)oriented Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) Cloud Product (GOCCP) and analyzed the spatial distribution of liquid and ice clouds in five January, February, March (JFM) seasons of global-scale observations (2007-2011).
