Systems and methods for enhancing engine performance based on atmospheric ice particles are provided. For example, a method can include selecting one or more points along a flight path of an aircraft and receiving a reflectivity measurement for each of the one or more points obtained using a device located on the aircraft. The method can further include determining an estimate of ice water content for each of the one or more points based at least in part on the reflectivity measurements; and controlling at least one component of the aircraft engine (e.g., a variable bleed valve) based at least in part on the estimate of ice water content for at least one of the plurality of points.
