Comparison of Global and Seasonal Characteristics of Cloud Phase and Horizontal Ice Plates Derived from CALIPSO with MODIS and ECMWF
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the global and seasonal characteristics of cloud phase and ice crystal orientation by using the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) on board the CALIPSO.
