TL;DR: In this paper, the results from 22 airborne field campaigns, including more than 10 million high-resolution particle images collected in cirrus formed in situ and in convective anvils, are interpreted in terms of particle shapes and their potential impact on radiative transfer.
Growth of ice particle mass and projected area during riming
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used ground-based measurements of m and ice particle maximum dimension (D) as well as theory to formulate simple expressions describing the dependence of M and A on riming.
A partial mechanistic understanding of the North American monsoon
TL;DR: In this article, a mechanistic understanding of the NAM is suggested by incorporating local and synoptic scale processes, where the local scale mechanism describes the effect of the temperature inversion over the Gulf of California on controlling low-level moisture during the 2004 NAM.

Calipso Observations of the Dependence of Homo- and Heterogeneous Ice Nucleation in Cirrus Clouds on Latitude, Season and Surface Condition
TL;DR: In this paper, a satellite remote sensing method is described to estimate cirrus cloud ice particle number concentration and the relative contribution of hom and heterogeneous ice nucleation (henceforth hom and het) to cloud formation as a function of altitude, latitude, season and surface type.
