Global cloud phase monitoring from FY-3G multi-angle polarimetric observations using the new MAPLE-CP framework with independent multi-site lidar validation

Global cloud-top phase monitoring is constrained by an observing gap: passive imagers provide broad coverage but limited vertical phase information, whereas active sensors provide stronger physical constraints only along narrow tracks. Here we develop MAPLE-CP, a Multi-Angle Pola...
