Cloud properties derived from surface MFRSR measurements and comparison with GOES results at the ARM SGP Site

We describe a family of inversion methods to infer the optical depth, τ, of warm clouds from surface measurements of spectral irradiance. Our most complex retrieval also uses the total liquid water path measured by a microwave radiometer to obtain the effective radius, re, of the cloud droplets. We...
