Fast simulators for satellite cloud optical centroid pressure retrievals; evaluation of OMI cloud retrievals

The cloud Optical Centroid Pressure (OCP) is a satellite-derived parameter that is commonly used in trace-gas retrievals to account for the effects of clouds on near-infrared through ultraviolet radiance measurements. Fast simulators are desirable to further expand the use of cloud OCP retrievals in...
