Abstract

Abstract

The particle size distributions of cloud and fog are analysed by using the reflected sunlight data from NOAA/AVHRR CH3 (3.55—3.93μm). Compared analysed results with ground observations, it is shown that the area with larger cloud particles at the top of cloud is related to precipitation area, and the area of fog cover is coincided with smaller cloud particles.
