Horizontal and Vertical Scaling of Cloud Geometry Inferred from CloudSat Data

A method is described to characterize the scale dependence of cloud chord length using cloud-type classification reported with the 94-GHz CloudSat radar. The cloud length along the CloudSat track is quantified using horizontal and vertical structures of cloud classification separately for each cloud...
