Short summary
Using a full year of laser and radar observations in Beijing, this study shows when and where flat ice crystals tend to align horizontally instead of randomly, which suggests that flat ice crystals are most common in moderately cold, weakly turbulent clouds and often form below supercooled liquid water. This new finding can help weather and climate models better represent ice clouds.
