The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

An overview of the first decade of Polly NET : an emerging network of automated Raman-polarization lidars for continuous aerosol profiling (2016, methodology): “The lidar ratio and depolarization ratio at 355 nm were found to range from 45–65 sr and 0–7 %, respectively, for urban pollution, from 30–60 sr and 7–13 % for dusty mixtures, and from 42–67 sr and 15–23 % for aged biomass-burning aerosol (Illingworth et al., 2015).”
A general database of hydrometeor single scattering properties at microwave and sub-millimetre wavelengths (2018, unknown): “The data of Lu et al. (2016) have interesting features regarding particle shapes and orientation, but are not well suited for passive microwave applications since they are based on an obsolete, and inaccurate, refractive index parameterisation (see Sect.”
Fifty Years of Research on the Madden‐Julian Oscillation: Recent Progress, Challenges, and Perspectives (2020, methodology): “For example, by employing the next‐generation high‐performance lidar and radar technology, the EarthCARE Mission (Illingworth et al., 2015), to be launched in 2021, will deliver comprehensive data sets that can be used to study the relationship among clouds, aerosols, and radiation at accuracy level”
