Spatial Distributions of Cloud Occurrences in Terms of Volume Fraction as Inferred from CloudSat and CALIPSO

The cloud amount, referred to as the frequency of cloud occurrences, is of great importance for the Earth–atmosphere system. It was conventionally quantified as the area fraction of clouds in a given region, discarding the three-dimensional nature of both cloud entities and their spatial distributio...
