provide guidance to high-altitude laser system designers based on observations of actual cirrus events. Instrumentation included a ground-based cloud profiling radar and lidar, radiosondes, and satellite imagery from the the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-12 ( GOES-12 ). Without in situ ice crystal measurements available, the goal was to see if cirrus measurements from radiosondes and satellite imagery could be used as a proxy for

Aerosol lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO; Winker et al. 2007 ) tandem mission provides a replica of these ground-based observations. However, because of the sun-synchronous orbit, the same point is always seen at the same local time, resulting in a poor sampling of the diurnal cycle. Liu et al. (2008) suggest that it is therefore important to interpret the day and night A-Train samples as independent samples. However, these instruments are most suited to a global

It started with the launch of Aqua in 2002, carrying the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), which retrieves cloud optical properties using shortwave and infrared radiances. In 2006, Aqua was joined by CloudSat and the Cloud–Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations ( CALIPSO ) ( Winker et al. 2003 ), providing
