Variability of cloud optical depth and cloud droplet effective radius in layer clouds : satellite based analysis

Measurements made by the AVHRR (Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer) on board of five NOAA polar orbiting satellites were used to retrieve cloud optical depth (τ) and cloud droplet effective radius (r[sub eff]) for marine boundary layer clouds over the Pacific Ocean west of California and ov...
