On the limits of CALIOP for constraining modelled free‐tropospheric aerosol

The space‐borne Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) instrument provides valuable information on the vertical distribution of global aerosol, and is often used to evaluate vertical aerosol distributions in General Circulation Models (GCMs). Here we show, however, that the detect...
