Abstract:Accurately identifying liquid water layers in mixed-phase clouds is
crucial for estimating cloud radiative effects. Lidar-based retrievals
are limited in optically thick or multilayer clouds, leading to positive
biases in simulated shortwave radiative fluxes. At the same time,
general circulation models also tend to overestimate the downwelling
shortwave radiation at the surface especially in the Southern Ocean
regions. To reduce this SW radiation bias in models, we first need
better observational-based retrie… Show more
