The link between outgoing longwave radiation and the altitude at which a spaceborne lidar beam is fully attenuated

According to climate model simulations, the changing altitude of middle and high clouds is the dominant contributor to the positive global mean longwave cloud feedback. Nevertheless, the mechanisms of this longwave cloud altitude feedback and its magnitude have not yet been verified by observatio...
