Examining horizontal variability in ground-based microwave retrievals of liquid water path

Estimating horizontal length scales associated with variability in cloud liquid water path (LWP) is important in improving both satellite retrievals of cloud properties and in improving cloud models. A microwave radiometer (MWR) at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Southern Great Plains (SGP) si...

Zusammenfassung:Estimating horizontal length scales associated with variability in cloud liquid water path (LWP) is important in improving both satellite retrievals of cloud properties and in improving cloud models. A microwave radiometer (MWR) at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Southern Great Plains (SGP) site provides measurements of the horizontal variability in cloud LWP.
