Interactive comment on “Comparison of cloud statistics from spaceborne lidar systems” by S. Berthier et al
نویسنده
چکیده
Answer of the Author : A large bibliography yet exists on the lidar measurements and instruments. A fully description of the LITE, GLAS and CALIOP lidar instruments can be found in each of the reference furnished in the article. You can see for the LITE instrument (Winker et al., 1996), for the GLAS instrument (Palm et al., 1998), and to finish for the CALIOP instrument (Winker et al., 2002) ). All of these references are yet given in the introduction.

متن کاملComparison of cloud statistics from spaceborne lidar systems
The distribution of clouds in a vertical column is assessed on the global scale through analysis of lidar measurements obtained from three spaceborne lidar systems: LITE (Lidar In-space Technology Experiment, NASA), GLAS (Geoscience Laser Altimeter System, NASA), and CALIOP (Cloud-Aerosol LIdar with Orthogonal Polarization). Cloud top height (CTH) is obtained from the LITE profiles based on a s...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Statistics of vertical velocities in supercooled cloud layers over Leipzig and Praia measured with Doppler lidar” by Johannes Bühl et al
We appreciate the unconcealed review provided for our manuscript. The main point of the critics points to the fact that we emphasize a potential relationship between vertical motion and ice formation. In fact, the manuscript is supposed to ’just’ provide a study that compares regional differences in vertical air motions in mid-level stratiform clouds (which is barely available to date). We did ...
متن کاملThe Co-Constitution of Health Systems and Innovation; Comment on “What Health System Challenges Should Responsible Innovation in Health Address? Insights From an International Scoping Review”
Lehoux et al provide a timely and relevant turn on the broad and ongoing discussion around the introduction of health technology and innovation. More specifically, the authors suggest a demand-driven approach to health innovation that starts from identifying challenges and demands at the health system level. In this commentary, I review a number of underlying implications of their study in rela...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “First Look at the Occurrence of Horizontally Oriented Ice Crystals over Summit, Greenland” by Sebastian Cole et al
In this paper, the authors use one year of lidar measurements acquired at Summit, Greenland, to analyse the occurrence of oriented ice crystals in clouds. They make some statistics on the frequency of occurrence with respect to atmospheric variables such as temperature, wind, humidity, or cloud height. Although these variables vary widely, within a range that is mostly similar between clouds wi...
