Comparison of retrieved cloud properties between ICAS and MODIS products. CTH in a ICAS and b MODIS. c CTH method used in the MODIS product, showing pixels for the IR window and CO2 slicing methods and clear-sky pixels. COT in d ICAS and e MODIS. CER in f ICAS and g MODIS. Cloud thermodynamic phase estimated in ICAS. h The phase index defined in Eq. (10), and i binary results for the cloud phase. Ice/liquid binary results are based on the original cloud phase index data that has continuous values from 1 to 2. Cloud thermodynamic phase estimated in the MODIS product: j shortwave (SW) algorithm and k TIR algorithm. Gray pixels in k represent the mixed phase
