| Research Abstract |
We developed the retrieval algorithm of ice microphysics by synergy use of space-borne cloud radar and lidar. Mixture of horizontally oriented ice plates and randomly oriented ice particles was considered. And we performed backscattering calculations of ice for CloudSat radar and CALIPSO lidar. Then we obtained global distribution of effective radius, ice water content and mass mixing ratio of oriented plates to the total ice water content.
