AB: We present a series of 3D polarized radiative transfer simulations made with recently developed Reversed Monte Carlo, and Discrete Ordinate Iterative radiative transfer algorithms, which are part of the ARTS-1.1.x software package. The software allows the study of the effect of horizontally aligned non-spherical ice crystals on EOS-MLS radiances. Simulation results will be presented, indicating features we should see from EOS-MLS radiances for various cloud scenarios. These will be compared with the initial data from the EOS-MLS instrument, and consequences for the retrieval of cloud information will be discussed.
