DOI: 10.1029/2018gl081590
Abstract: We present a novel method that identifies the contributions of thermodynamic phase shifts and processes governing supercooled liquid and ice clouds to cloud optical depth variations with temperature using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer observations. Our… read more here.
