Abstract

Two methods for retrieving cloud droplet effective radius r e from ground‐based near‐infrared spectral measurements of path‐integrated liquid water paths (PLWPs) are described. In one method the PLWP is compared with column measurements of liquid water path (LWP) from a dual channel microwave radiom...
