Aerosols and Ice Particle Size in Tropical Cumulonimbus

A retrieval of ice crystal size near the tops of active deep cumulonimbus clouds (Cb) throughout the Tropics over a 12-yr period is presented based on radiances from the 3.7-μm channel of the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR). Effective diameters (Dₑ) are 10%–20% smaller over land tha...
