Profiles of (a) effective radius, (b) particle volume, and (c) real part of the refractive index on 24 December 2015 retrieved from 3β + 2α lidar measurements shown in Fig. 7a (solid symbols) and provided by MERRA-2 for 21:00 UTC (open symbols). Inversion of lidar measurements was performed in assumption of spherical particles (s) and using the model of spheroids (ns).
