Footprint-scale cloud type mixtures and their impacts on Atmospheric Infrared Sounder cloud property retrievals

<p>A method is described to classify cloud mixtures of cloud top types, termed <i>cloud scenes,</i> using cloud type classification derived from the CloudSat radar (2B-CLDCLASS). The scale dependence of the cloud scenes is quantified. For spatial scales at 45&thinsp;km (15&...
