摘要
The ratio of the lidar and radar scattering cross section is sensitive to cloud particle size. High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL) provides robustly calibrated scattering cross sections without the uncertainties introduced when conventional lidar data are corrected for attenuation. This paper explores the use of HSRL data and 35 GHz radar data for measuring particle size, particle phase, number density and the water content of arctic clouds.
