Abstract
This paper examines the statistics of 35 and 95 GHz cloud radar reflectivity measured during three experiment campaigns that span latitudes from 62° North to 45° South. Airborne and ground-based measurements were used to generate statistics of reflectivity versus ambient temperature. The reflectivity distributions of ice clouds from three experiments are compared
