Lidar/radar approach to quantify the dust impact on ice nucleation in mid and high level clouds

We present the first attempt of a closure experiment regarding the relationship between ice nucleating particle concentration (INPC) and ice crystal number concentration (ICNC), solely based on active remote sensing. The approach combines aerosol and cloud observations with polarization lidar, Doppl...
