A fast, flexible, approximate technique for computing radiative transfer in inhomogeneous cloud fields (2003, background): “In nature, though, domains the size of LSM grid cells often contain clouds with substantial horizontal variability [e.g., Barker et al., 1999; Pincus et al., 1999; Rossow et al., 2002] and complicated vertical structure [e.g., Hogan and Illingworth, 2000; Mace and Benson-Troth, 2002].”
Relationships among cloud occurrence frequency, overlap, and effective thickness derived from CALIPSO and CloudSat merged cloud vertical profiles (2010, background): “Note that our bin size is larger than the 90 m used by Mace and Benson‐Troth [2002]. We expect, however, that D derived from data does not depend on the bin size very much so long as the bin size is smaller than D.”
