Horizontal geometry of trade wind cumuli – aircraft observations from a shortwave infrared imager versus a radar profiler
<p>This study elaborates on how aircraft-based horizontal geometries of trade wind cumulus clouds differ whether a one-dimensional (1D) profiler or a two-dimensional (2D) imager is used. While nadir profiling devices are limited to a 1D realization of the cloud transect size, with limited repr...
