A complex signal to noise problem : determining the aerosol indirect effect from observations of ship tracks in AVHRR data

A complex signal to noise problem : determining the aerosol indirect effect from observations of ship tracks in AVHRR data

Cloud reflectivity is a function of cloud liquid water content and droplet number concentration. Since cloud droplets form around pre-existing aerosol particles, cloud droplet number concentration depends on the availability of particles that can serve as cloud condensation nuclei. Given constant li...
