A climatology of midlatitude continental clouds from the ARM SGP central facility: Part I: Low-level cloud macrophysical, microphysical, and radiative properties (2005, background): “The values of N derived here are within the range reported by Miles et al. (2000). The winter means in this study are nearly the same as the average (288 cm (3)) from the Miles et al. (2000) data. For statistical comparisons of the re values with others, the means in Table 2 are nearly identical to ”
Deriving Mixed-Phase Cloud Properties from Doppler Radar Spectra (2004, background): “Therefore, a concentration of 35 cm23 is used in (1) and (2), although it is somewhat lower than typical liquid droplet concentrations measured in a marine environment (e.g., Miles et al. 2000 ).”
Information Content and Uncertainties in Thermodynamic Profiles and Liquid Cloud Properties Retrieved from the Ground-Based Atmospheric Emitted Radiance Interferometer (AERI) (2014, background): “We assumed the a priori mean and uncertainty for the Reff to be 8 6 4mm, which is roughly in the range of values for warm stratiform clouds (Miles et al. 2000).”
Aerosol nucleation and its role for clouds and Earth's radiative forcing in the aerosol-climate model ECHAM5-HAM (2010, background): “…the cloud droplet burden (CDB) from a long term time series (1997–2002) of low-level cloud observations at a continental site (36.6◦ N, 262.5◦ E) (Dong et al., 2005), and from a compilation of marine low-level cloud measurements at various locations (Miles et al., 2000) for evaluation of the model.”
A Technique for Autocalibration of Cloud Lidar (2004, methodology): “The required cloud parameters, extinction coefficient and effective diameter, are chosen to cover the maximum spread of the range of typical stratocumulus given by Miles et al. (2000).”
The Influence of Entrainment and Mixing Assumption on Aerosol–Cloud Interactions in Marine Stratocumulus (2009, background): “6); however, observations of marine Sc (e.g., Noonkester 1984; Miles et al. 2000; Wood 2005) suggest TABLE 4.”
Cloud droplet sedimentation, entrainment efficiency, and subtropical stratocumulus albedo (2007, background): “These two values bracket the range of sg found in analyses of earlier aircraftderived data sets [e.g., Martin et al., 1994; Hudson and Yum, 1997; Miles et al., 2000; Wood, 2000].”
