An evaluation of cloud vertical structure in three reanalyses against CloudSat/cloud‐aerosol lidar and infrared pathfinder satellite observations

Abstract Cloud fraction is a great source of uncertainty in current models. By utilizing cloudiness fields from CloudSat/cloud‐aerosol lidar and infrared pathfinder satellite observations (CALIPSO), the three widely used reanalyses including the Interim ECWMF Re‐Analysis (ERA‐Interim), Japanese 55‐y...
