Uncertainty Assessment of the Vertically-Resolved Cloud Amount for Joint CloudSat-CALIPSO Radar-Lidar Observations

Andrzej Z. Kotarba et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the uncertainties in the CloudSat-CALIPSO dataset and found that estimating a five-year mean cloud amount at every location is impossible. The existing uncertainties are primarily the result of climate-specific factors.
