Files to retrieve effective radius and extinction coefficient in liquid clouds from depolarization observations at two FOVs

  • 1. Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research
  • 2. National Academy of Sciences of Belarus

Description

Files needed to retrieve the effective radius and cloud extinction coefficient at 75 meters above liquid clouds, assumed as subadiabatic, using observations of \delta_in and delta_rat as explained in acp-2020-473. The FOVs considered are FOV_in=1.0 mrad and FOV_in=2.0 mrad.

The files Input_alpha_75.txt and Input_r75.txt contain respectively the input values of the extinction and effective radius (at 75m above CB). 235 input values of alpha_75 and 122 values of r_75.

The file Polynomial_coeff_r75_vs_depol_rat_all_cloud-bases.txt contains the coefficients of a ciubic polynom to compute the effective radius using observations of delta_rat. These set of 4 coefficients is provided for all 8 cloud base heights, having a size of 4x8.

The files matrix_alpha_vs_depolin_and_r75_XXXX.txt, with XXXX the cloud base in meters (varying from 1000 to 5000 meters), provide each matrix of size 235x122 containing the value of the simulated integrated depolarizaiton ratio at the FOV in  (i.e delta_in in acp-2020-473), for the given 235 input-values of alpha_75 (provided in the File Input_alpha_75.txt) and given 122 values of r_75 (provided in File Input_r75.txt). This matrix shall be used to determine alpha_75 after knowing r_75 and depol_in.
