A cross-instrument closure and polarimetric study for improving sub-millimeter polarimeter-radiometer ice cloud microphysics retrievals

Abstract. Ice cloud microphysical properties, such as phase, shape, size and density, introduce significant uncertainties and biases that affect our understanding of how clouds influence weather and climate. The upcoming spaceborne sub-millimeter radiometers are expected to help in reducing the ice microphysics induced...
