Remote sensing of droplet number concentration in warm clouds: A review of the current state of knowledge and perspectives

The cloud droplet number concentration (Nd) is of central interest to improve the understanding of cloud physics and for quantifying the effective radiative forcing by aerosol‐cloud interactions. Current standard satellite retrievals do not operationally provide Nd, but it can be inferred from retri...
