Validation of Ice Cloud Microphysical Properties Retrieval Using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo Algorithm

Abstract The Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm has been used for retrieving ice cloud microphysical properties in this paper. The retrieval data include effective radius (re), ice water content (IWC), number density (N0), and distribution width parameter (w). First we examine the algorithm f...
