Cloud drop effective radius for trade wind cumuli observed during RICO by aircraft and MODIS
… warm tropical clouds, such as those found in the trades, are often horizontally heterogeneous over the pixel scales of meteorological satellite imagers; the clouds may even be sub-pixel in size. Due to the 1-D nature of the radiative transfer calculations used in retrieving cloud drop effective …

Cloud Observations From Eos-Terra: From Conception to Interpretation of Cloud Climatologies With a Focus on Small Clouds
… the most comprehensive examination to date of trade wind cumuli macrophysical properties. The results show large deviations from past studies, and will have a direct impact on models attempting to simulate trade wind cumuli.

Trade wind cloud evolution observed by polarization radar: relationship to aerosol characteristics
… defined the starting or ending times of trade-wind cumuli development. The goals of this research are to: 1) investigate the characteristic time and height of warm rain formation in trade-wind cumulus using radar and 2) determine the sensitivity of precipitation development in shallow …

Understanding precipitation, cold pools, and cloud arcs in the tropics
… Barbuda from 2004-2005, it was thought that most trade wind cumulus clouds do not precipitate. The main goal of the RICO field campaign was to study rain in tropical marine cumuli and how this rain modifies trade wind clouds. One unexpected result that kept reappearing in satellite and radar data …
