Editorial statement
The findings in this excellent article reach well beyond the cloud physics community. They concern all geoscience, indeed all science. It should be read by every geoscientist worth their salt and wishing to help improve the disciplne from the inside and its image in the world.
Short summary
A survey and literature metadata analysis from the cloud physics community are used to investigate the state of diversity, equity and inclusion in the cloud physics community. We show the evolution of gender contributions to cloud physics and the inclusion of tropics-based scientists. The publication analysis reveals the rate of men and women dropping out of the field is not different, however, gender balance was better achieved when women led publications compared to men.
