Simulated and observed horizontal inhomogeneities of optical thickness of Arctic stratus

<p>Two-dimensional horizontal fields of cloud optical thickness <i>τ</i> derived from airborne measurements of solar spectral, cloud-reflected radiance are compared with semi-idealized large eddy simulations (LESs) of Arctic stratus performed with the Consortium for Small-scale...
