Ice water content vertical profiles of high-level clouds: classification and impact on radiative fluxes
In this article, we discuss the shape of ice water content (IWC) vertical profiles in high ice clouds and its effect on their radiative properties, both in short- and in long-wave bands (SW and LW). Based on the analysis of collocated satellite data, we propose a minimal set of primitive shapes (rec...
