Global observations of aerosol‐cloud‐precipitation‐climate interactions (2014, background): “Far from aerosol sources, where visible plume structure is lacking but aerosol layers aremore spatially extensive, detailed aerosol vertical distribution can be obtained from active sensors [Winker et al., 2009, 2010, 2012], nicely complementing the multiangle techniques [Kahn et al., 2008].”
