Study of global cloud droplet number concentration with A-Train satellites
Cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC) is an important microphysical property of liquid clouds that impacts radiative forcing, precipitation and is pivotal for understanding cloud–aerosol interactions. Current studies of this parameter at global scales with satellite observations are still challe...
