Raman lidar-derived optical and microphysical properties of ice crystals within thin Arctic clouds during PARCS campaign

Abstract ∘ 39′ 48′ ′ ∘ 41′ 00′ ′ ∘ C isotherm reached around 800 m above the mean sea level (a.m.s.l.). To ensure the best penetration of the laser beam into the cloud, we selected case studies with cloud optical thickness (COT) lower than 2 and out of supercooled liquid pockets. Lidar-derived multiple scattering coefficients were found to be close to 1 and ice crystal depolarization around 10 %, suggesting that ice crystals were small and had a rather spherical shape. Using Mie computations, we determine effective radii between ∼ 7 and 25 µ m in the clouds for ice water contents between 1 and 8 mg m- 3 µ m and 0.65 mg m- 3, respectively.
