Characterization of Mixed-Phase Clouds During Mixed-Phase Arctic Cloud Experiment from Satellite, Ground-Based, and In-Situ Data
Stratiform clouds containing mainly liquid at their tops with increasing amounts of ice deep inside the cloud commonly occur over the Arctic. The ice crystals usually grow large enough to fall from the cloud as frozen precipitation. These clouds are important to consider in both climate and numerica...

| Summary: | Stratiform clouds containing mainly liquid at their tops with increasing amounts of ice deep inside the cloud commonly occur over the Arctic. The ice crystals usually grow large enough to fall from the cloud as frozen precipitation. These clouds are important to consider in both climate and numerical weather prediction models. However, the mechanisms that support the formation, maintenance, and |
