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

Millimeter-Wavelength Radars: New Frontier in Atmospheric Cloud and Precipitation Research (2007, methodology): “In certain circumstances millimeter-wavelength radar Doppler spectra can be used to estimate the microphysical composition of both phases of mixed-phase clouds (Shupe et al. 2004).”
On the Relationship between Thermodynamic Structure and Cloud Top, and Its Climate Significance in the Arctic (2012, background): “The general reflectivity increase from cloud top to base reflects the development and growth of ice or liquid precipitation hydrometeors, which are larger than the cloud droplets and thus have a larger backscatter (Shupe et al. 2004).”
A ground‐based multisensor cloud phase classifier (2007, background): “Some signatures for making this distinction, however, may be available from mean Doppler velocity and/or Doppler spectrum width fields [e.g., Shupe et al., 2004, 2006 ].”
