Radiative impacts of anvil cloud during the maritime continent thunderstorm experiment

Jensen, Ackerman, and Sekelsky investigate the radiative impact of three separate cirrus anvil systems that occurred during the Maritime Continent Thunderstorm Experiment. Retrievals of microphysical cloud properties and an independent radar measurement are used to develop an appropriate set of rada...

Description
Summary:Jensen, Ackerman, and Sekelsky investigate the radiative impact of three separate cirrus anvil systems that occurred during the Maritime Continent Thunderstorm Experiment. Retrievals of microphysical cloud properties and an independent radar measurement are used to develop an appropriate set of radar reflectivity factor (Z)-ice water content parameterizations.
