Cloud Versus Void Chord Length Distributions (LvL) as a Measure for Cloud Field Organization

Abstract Cloud organization impacts the radiative effects and precipitation patterns of the cloud field. Deviating from randomness, clouds exhibit either clustering or a regular grid structure, characterized by the spacing between clouds and the cloud size distribution. The two measures are coupled...
