Combined retrieval of Arctic liquid water cloud and surface snow properties using airborne spectral solar remote sensing

The passive solar remote sensing of cloud properties over highly reflecting ground is challenging, mostly due to the low contrast between the cloud reflectivity and that of the underlying surfaces (sea ice and snow). Uncertainties in the retrieved cloud optical thickness <i>τ</i> and...
