We present a general overview of the recent advancement in the retrieval of the radiative and microphysical parameters of ice clouds and desert aerosols derived at the global scale from the combination of the Infrared Imaging Radiometer (IIR), Wide Field camera (WFC) and Cloud and Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) onboard the CALIPSO platform.
