Testing remote sensing on artificial observations: impact of drizzle and 3-D cloud structure on effective radius retrievals
Remote sensing of cloud effective particle size with passive sensors like the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) is an important tool for cloud microphysical studies. As a measure of the radiatively relevant droplet size, effective radius can be retrieved with different combinatio...
