Abstract
Ice production and growth in mixed-phase clouds give a complicated picture of the radiative and mass characteristics due to the heterogeneity of particle shapes and sizes. Collocated airborne lidar and microphysics datasets from a recent winter storm field study are used to evaluate the effect of ice and liquid hydrometeors, observed in situ, on the multiple-wavelength backscatter coefficient values measured by the NASA Cloud Physics Lidar over the course of three winter deployments in the Midwest and Northeast United States.
