- STRAT: An Automated Algorithm to Retrieve the Vertical Structure of the Atmosphere from Single-Channel Lidar Data (2007, background): “Several authors have exploited long-term lidar datasets to derive statistics and climatologies of cloud and aerosol macrophysical properties (e.g., Cadet et al. 2003; Comstock et al. 2002; Sassen and Campbell 2001).”

- The impact of cirrus clouds on tropical troposphere-to-stratosphere transport (2006, unknown): “Despite its short measurement period of 10 days, LITE provides excellent information in vertical structure of optically thin tropical clouds, shown to be an essential complement to other observations, e.g. cloud top statistics from a ground based micropulse lidar in the tropical western Pacific (Coms”
- Cirrus clouds and deep convection in the tropics: Insights from CALIPSO and CloudSat (2009, methodology): “Thus lidars can detect high-altitude tropical cirrus clouds containing relatively minute ice particles that cloud radars cannot, and in general the top heights of cirrus clouds are underestimated by radar [e.g., Comstock et al., 2002].”
- Global distribution of cirrus clouds from CloudSat/Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) measurements (2008, background): “Optically thin and cold cirrus can also go entirely undetected by radar, especially for those cirrus clouds in tropical regions found at great heights [ Comstock et al., 2002 ].”
- A microphysics guide to cirrus clouds – Part 1: Cirrus types (2015, background): “Cox (1971), for example, questioned whether the presence of cirrus clouds tends to warm or cool the Earth’s surface and came to the conclusion that tropical cirrus may have a significant warming tendency while mid-latitude cirrus produce a cooling effect.”
