Abstract

Two methods for retrieving cloud droplet effective radius re 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 radiome...
