Vertical variation of ice particle size in convective cloud tops

A novel technique is used to estimate derivatives of ice effective radius with respect to height near convective cloud tops (dre /dz) from airborne shortwave reflectance measurements and lidar. Values of dre /dz are about -6 μm/km for cloud tops below the homogeneous freezing level, increasing to ne...
