Ice cloud microphysical trends observed by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder

<p>We use the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) version 6 ice cloud property and thermodynamic phase retrievals to quantify variability and 14-year trends in ice cloud frequency, ice cloud top temperature (<i>T</i><sub>ci</sub>), ice optical thickness (<i>τ&l...
