High Resolution Cloud Microphysics and Radiation Studies
Abstract
We have deployed the MPL lidar, whole sky camera, and precipitation lidar during the 2010 Cape Weather Measurements Field Project to characterize fine scale microphysics characteristics of mid level altocumulus clouds and upper level visible and subvisual cirrus clouds The MPL lidar provided information about the temporal evolution of clouds, cloud base, and cloud top. volume extinction coefficient, and the backscattcr/extinction lidar ratio.
