Abstract
We have determined the CLOUDSAT/sea spray relationship and used it to analyze cirrus clouds optical depth. Differences arise between the different sensors and need to be further investigated. The direct optical depth measurements will greatly improve our knowledge of ice clouds radiative properties.
