Radar-radiometer retrievals of cloud number concentration and dispersion parameter in nondrizzling marine stratocumulus

The retrieval of cloud microphysical properties from remote sensors is challenging. In the past, ground-based radar-radiometer measurements have been successfully used to retrieve the liquid water content profile in nondrizzling clouds but offer little constraint in retrieving other moments of t...
