Linear depolarization measurement capabilities were added to the CANDAC Rayleigh–Mie–Raman lidar (CRL) at Eureka, Nunavut, in the Canadian High Arctic in 2010. This upgrade enables measurements of the phases (liquid versus ice) of cold and mixed-phase clouds throughout the year, including during pol...
