Ice crystal number concentration estimates from lidar–radar satellite remote sensing – Part 1: Method and evaluation

<p>The number concentration of cloud particles is a key quantity for understanding aerosol–cloud interactions and describing clouds in climate and numerical weather prediction models. In contrast with recent advances for liquid clouds, few observational constraints exist regarding the ice...
