Description
Comprehensive ground-based cloud property retrieval using Ka-band radar for cloud boundaries, multifilter radiometry and sun photometry for optical thickness, and thermodynamic profiling for phase determination. Provides reference validation data for satellite retrievals.
Typical Equipment
- Ka Band ARM Zenith Radars
- MFRSR
- Sun photometer
- THERMOCLOUDPHASE VAP
Output Measurements
- cloud top height
- cloud optical thickness
- cloud phase
