Combined CloudSat‐CALIPSO‐MODIS retrievals of the properties of ice clouds (2010, unknown): “This algorithm overcame some of the limitations of previous radar ‐ lidar ice retrieval schemes [ Wang and Sassen , 2002; Donovan et al. , 2001; Okamoto et al. , 2003; Mitrescu et al. , 2005; Tinel et al. , 2005], which only work in regions of cloud detected by both radar and lidar, and are…”
A variational scheme for retrieving ice cloud properties from combined radar, lidar, and infrared radiometer (2008, methodology): “More recently, Wang and Sassen [2002] , Okamoto et al. [2003] and Mitrescu et al. [2005] included a correction for lidar attenuation, but a value for the lidar extinction-tobackscatter ratio had to be assumed.”
Global distribution of cirrus clouds from CloudSat/Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) measurements (2008, background): “For example, remote sensing algorithms for inferring the ice water contents of cirrus clouds are specifically designed to treat ice clouds with characteristic ice crystal size spectra [Donovan and van Lammeren, 2001; Wang and Sassen, 2002; Comstock et al., 2007].”
