Large‐eddy simulations over Germany using ICON: a comprehensive evaluation (2017, methodology): “Ice water content (IWC) profiles are obtained from cloud radar reflectivity and in-cloud temperature (here provided by COSMO-EU), using the parametrization by Hogan et al. (2006).”
Retrieval of ice cloud microphysical parameters using the CloudSat millimeter‐wave radar and temperature (2009, background): “A number of ice cloud retrievals have been reported in recent years, some using reflectivity alone [e.g., Sassen et al., 2002; Heymsfield et al., 2005; Sayres et al., 2008] and some adding temperature as an additional constraint [e.g., Liu and Illingworth, 2000; Hogan et al., 2006].”
Improved Representation of Ice Particle Masses Based on Observations in Natural Clouds (2010, background): “If m were biased by a factor of 6 50%, the IWC and r e would change by this amount, the IWC retrieved from radar reﬂectivity by about 6 15% (Hogan et al. 2006), the terminal velocity y t 5 a ( m ) 0.5 by about 2 30% to 1 40%, and precipitation rate derived from radar reﬂectivity by 2 60% to 1 80%…”
A variational scheme for retrieving ice cloud properties from combined radar, lidar, and infrared radiometer (2008, methodology): “…ensures that in regions where only the radar or the lidar is available, the scheme will tend toward existing empirical relationships involving temperature, such as the formulae for IWC as a function of Z and temperature [e.g., Liu and Illingworth, 2000; Hogan et al., 2006b; Protat et al., 2007].”
Snow Size Distribution Parameterization for Midlatitude and Tropical Ice Clouds (2007, methodology): “This is essentially the same form that was used by Hogan et al. (2006) to describe the relation between reflectivity and IWC.”
Combined CloudSat‐CALIPSO‐MODIS retrievals of the properties of ice clouds (2010, unknown): “These relationships have been derived using mid ‐ latitude in ‐ situ aircraft data and the radar reflectivity they predict is very close to observations [ Hogan et al. , 2006b], although may not be entirely suitable for tropical or polar clouds.”
A global view of midlevel liquid‐layer topped stratiform cloud distribution and phase partition from CALIPSO and CloudSat measurements (2010, unknown): “Considering the performance of each method and the available ancillary measurements for CloudSat radar, we used the radar and temperature method [Hogan et al., 2006] to estimate the IWC in mixed-phase MLTSCs,”
