Cloud vertical distribution from combined surface and space radar–lidar observations at two Arctic atmospheric observatories

Detailed and accurate vertical distributions of cloud properties (such as cloud fraction, cloud phase, and cloud water content) and their changes are essential to accurately calculate the surface radiative flux and to depict the mean climate state. Surface and space-based active sensors including ra...
