Basis of retrieval of optical depth and effective radius from MODIS: Model and measurement comparison for water droplets Marine stratocumulus clouds near the Azores, 22 June 1992.

Cloud Screening: Convective Cumulonimbus Cloud Ice phase has lower reflectivity at 1.61 um and 2.13 microns than does equivalent water droplet cloud, due to the difference in refractive index of water and ice. These regions also have low brightness temperature and therefore are associated with cold cloud tops um has water vapor absorption. Less wv is above the cold clouds than the warm water droplet clouds.
