Reconciling Chord Length Distributions and Area Distributions for Fields of Fractal Cumulus Clouds
While the total cover of broken cloud fields can in principle be obtained from one-dimensional measurements, the cloud size distribution normally differs between two-dimensional (area) and one-dimensional retrieval (chord length) methods. In this study, we use output from high-resolution Large Eddy...
