ETL Radar-based Cloud Microphysics Retrievals [Shupe, M., and T. Uttal]
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/13.120

Summary
Cloud microphysical properties are derived from retrieval techniques that
combine ground-based radar and radiometer measurements from the SHEBA ice
camp. Retrieved parameters include: particle size, water content, water path,
particle concentration, and optical depth for all-ice, all-liquid,
mixed-phase, and precipitating cloud types. The companion radar and radiometer
files on which these retrievals are based are also available in the NCAR-EOL
data archive.
