The diurnal cycle of the clouds extending above the tropical tropopause observed by spaceborne lidar

<p>The presence of clouds above the tropopause over tropical convection centers has so far been documented by spaceborne instruments that are either sun-synchronous or insensitive to thin cloud layers. Here we document, for the first time through direct observation by spaceborne lidar, how the...
