Cloud properties coupled to sea ice leads for the wintertime period of the MOSAiC expedition, from 1st November 2019 to 30th April 2020, at 1 minute temporal resolution. The database comprises of retrieved micro- and macro-physical cloud properties classified by their status of coupling to water vapor transport. These cloud properties are then related to sea ice condition like percentage of leads observed only at a sector driven by the direction of the water vapor transport. The database has been utilized to analyze statistically the asymmetries of Arctic cloud properties based on the coupling status. The results are presented in a submitted manuscript to the European Geophysical Union Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics journal.
