- Abstract
Examines the cloud-integrated attenuated backscatter over a range of cirrus clouds at the top layers of mesoscale convective systems (MCS). Use of the Lidar In-Space Technology Experiment; Cases of MCS; Efficacy of the Lidar and radiometric data for retrieving cloud particle backscatter-to-extinction ratio.
