Record Title : Effective Radius of Cloud Condensed Water Particles At Cloud Top

CF Standard Name : effective_radius_of_cloud_condensed_water_particles_at_cloud_top

Record Description : The effective radius of a size distribution of particles, such as aerosols, cloud droplets or ice crystals,is the area weighted mean radius of particle size. It is calculated as the ratio of the third to the second moment of the particle size distribution. "cloud_top" refers to the top of the highest cloud. "condensed_water" means liquid and ice.
