Using surface remote sensors to derive radiative characteristics of Mixed-Phase Clouds: an example from M-PACE

Measurements from ground-based cloud radar, high spectral resolution lidar and microwave radiometer are used in conjunction with a column version of the Rapid Radiative Transfer Model (RRTMG) and radiosonde measurements to derive the surface radiative properties under mixed-phase cloud conditions. T...
