Abstract. Cloud droplet concentration is a very important parameter in model studies. However, no global observation is available because it is hard to retrieve by current satellite remote sensing techniques. This study introduces another parameter, column droplet concentration, which can be retrieved by satellite data and used in models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
