The diurnal cycle of cloud profiles over land and ocean between 51° S and 51° N, seen by the CATS spaceborne lidar from the International Space Station

<p>We document, for the first time, how detailed vertical profiles of cloud fraction (CF) change diurnally between 51° S and 51° N, by taking advantage of 15 months of measurements from the Cloud-Aerosol Transport System (CATS) lidar on the non-sun-synchronous International Space Station (...
