Revisiting cloud overlap with a merged dataset of liquid and ice cloud extinction from CloudSat and CALIPSO

Revisiting cloud overlap with a merged dataset of liquid and ice cloud extinction from CloudSat and CALIPSO

We update the parameterization capturing the variation of parameters that describe how cloud occurrence (layer cloud fraction) and layer cloud optical depth (COD) distributions overlap vertically. Our updated analysis is motivated by the availability of a new dataset constructed by combining two pro...
