1.2 MIP Variable: CloudSat Radar Reflectivity CFAD (cfadDbze94)

Record Label : cfadDbze94

Record Title : CloudSat Radar Reflectivity CFAD

CF Standard Name : histogram_of_equivalent_reflectivity_factor_over_height_above_reference_ellipsoid

Units of Measure : 1

Record Description : CFAD (Cloud Frequency Altitude Diagrams) are frequency distributions of radar reflectivity (or lidar scattering ratio) as a function of altitude. The variable cfadDbze94 is defined as the simulated relative frequency of occurrence of radar reflectivity in sampling volumes defined by altitude bins. The radar is observing at a frequency of 94GHz.
