The Analysis of Multi-Year Low-Level and Mid-Level Mixed- Phase Clouds Observed at the North Slope of Alaska Cloud and Radiation Testbed Site

The impact of a cloud system strongly depends on the cloud microphysical properties and its vertical extent (Stephens et al. 1990; Baker 1997). Although clouds can contain only water droplets when> 0°C and only ice crystals when < –40°C, between 0 and –40°C, clouds can be of ice, water, or mix...

Description
Summary:The impact of a cloud system strongly depends on the cloud microphysical properties and its vertical extent (Stephens et al. 1990; Baker 1997). Although clouds can contain only water droplets when> 0°C and only ice crystals when < –40°C, between 0 and –40°C, clouds can be of ice, water, or mixed-phase
