Comparing the cloud vertical structure derived from several methods based on radiosonde profiles and ground-based remote sensing measurements

The cloud vertical distribution and especially the cloud base height, which is linked to cloud type, are important characteristics in order to describe the impact of clouds on climate. In this work, several methods for estimating the cloud vertical structure (CVS) based on atmospheric sounding profi...
