Short summary
The Earth Cloud, Aerosol, and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) satellite was recently launched and its data needs to be validated. This work focus on the comparison of the data observed from the radar of EarthCARE and from the ground radars of the European Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure network. We find a very small difference between the data observed by the satellite and the data from the ground, confirming the high quality of the satellite’s radar calibration.
