Short summary
By analyzing global CloudSat data, we identified that most liquid cloud profiles have triangle-shaped or steadily decreasing structures, and we developed a new method using pattern recognition, fitting techniques, and machine learning to accurately estimate these profiles. This research advances our understanding of cloud life cycle and improves the ability to characterize cloud profiles, which is crucial for enhancing weather forecast and climate change research.
