Climatological and radiative properties of midlatitude cirrus clouds derived by automatic evaluation of lidar measurements
Cirrus, i.e., high, thin clouds that are fully glaciated, play an important role in the Earth's radiation budget as they interact with both long- and shortwave radiation and affect the water vapor budget of the upper troposphere and stratosphere. Here, we present a climatology of midlatitude...
