Ice Clouds and Precip • Needs • IWC across the full range (IKP; HIWC campaign) • Total extinction • Snow mass (and size) at the surface at Arctic sites (minimize effects of blowing snow) • Ice crystal shape • Vertical correlations among datasets • IR constraint • Limited datasets with full complement of new probes • Potential Actions • Climatology of IWC, PSD, Extinction with full complement of instruments • Multi-Aircraft campaign (nadir lidar/radar + in situ probes + forward looking lidar/radar) • STORMVEX type campaign (in situ on mtn top with remote sensors pointing toward location)
