Abstract
We studied the horizontally oriented ice crystals (HOIC) with the combinational observations of a zenith-pointing and a slant-pointing (with a zenith angle of 15 degrees) polarization lidar in Beijing in 2022. The HOICs account for approximately 7.3 % of total ice-containing clouds. These results have the potential to enhance the parameterization scheme in climate models for this unique form of ice crystals.
