CF Standard Name : histogram_of_backscattering_ratio_in_air_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 cfadLidarsr532 is defined as the simulated relative frequency of lidar scattering ratio in sampling volumes defined by altitude bins. The lidar is observing at a wavelength of 532nm.
