Short summary
Mixed-phase clouds, which contain both ice crystals and supercooled liquid droplets, strongly influence Earth's radiation budget but remain difficult to represent in climate models. Using global satellite observations, we show that they vary greatly by cloud type, with distinct spatial distributions, vertical structures, and seasonal and surface contrasts. These results provide new observational constraints for improving model representation of mixed-phase clouds.
