Topic 7: remote sensing of cloud particles and properties; validation etc.
CALIPSO horizontally-oriented ice crystals in cirrus Noel & Chepfer, JGR, 2010 “Oriented crystals are conspicuously absent in warm ice clouds directly above Antarctica” “Oriented crystal appear rarely in the CALIOP data set: ∼6% of optically thin ice cloud layers contain oriented crystals; within those layers less than 10% of crystals are oriented (generally 1–5%)”
CALIPSO / CloudSat validation in the Arctic with RALI aircraft, Delanoe et al., JAMC, 2013 Combined radar-lidar gives closer IWC content to in-situ measurements (relative to cloud particle imager) DARDAR (combined satellite) & RALI retrievals generally similar

CALIPSO optical properties: validation in the tropics with airborne lidar – Hvlaka et al., JGR, 2012 Airborne lidar CALIPSO coincident ice cloud measurements of lidar ratio, extinction coefficient, and optical depth “The [CALIPSO] horizontally-oriented ice distribution results in more frequent high [extinction] values compared to randomly-oriented ice conditions.”
