Microphysical variability of Amazonian deep convective cores observed by CloudSat and simulated by a multi-scale modeling framework

Recently launched cloud observing satellites provide information about the vertical structure of deep convection and its microphysical characteristics. In this study, CloudSat reflectivity data is stratified by cloud type, and the contoured frequency by altitude diagrams reveal a double-arc stru...
