Since the middle of the 1990s the use of radar for cloud profiling gained a lot of momentum because of the large need for reliable data to study the role of non-precipitating clouds in the climate system. High-frequency systems especially, for example, at 35 and 94 GHz, corresponding to about 0.9 and 0.3 cm wavelengths, were exploited for their feasibility to measure the structure of non-precipitating...
This chapter introduces to the microphysical properties of clouds and precipitation, such as particle number concentration, size, and shape, and their relationship with atmospheric aerosols. The role of clouds and aerosols into the climate system and models is briefly discussed, with an emphasis on the associated uncertainty and the current level of understanding. Potential feedback effects of an...
