This thesis evaluates the limitations of passive airborne remote sensing methods to retrieve optical and microphysical properties of Arctic mixed-phase clouds. These limitations are circumvented using a synergy of passive and active remote sensing techniques, and large eddy simulations. Using this synergetic approach, the three-dimensional spatial distribution of the thermodynamic phase of two cloud case studies is characterized. The findings are subsequently applied to a statistical analysis of the cloud properties measured during the Arctic Cloud Observations Using airborne measurements during polar Day (ACLOUD) campaign.
