Entry: Effective radius of cloud hydrometeors

stable

URI: http://codes.wmo.int/wmdr/ObservedVariableAtmosphere/183    

An ensemble mean size of cloud hydrometeors derived from size distribution. Cloud hydrometeors refer to liquid and/or ice cloud particles. For liquid phase clouds, the effective radius is defined as the area weighted mean radius of liquid water drops, assimilated to spheres of the same volume. The effective radius of cloud ice particles has been defined in the literature in different ways. Clear and detailed definition should be provided as how this parameter is derived.
