Cloud drop effective radius
text:
The cloud drop effective radius is a weighted mean of the size distribution of cloud droplets. The term was defined in 1974 by James E. Hansen and Larry Travis as the ratio of the third to the second moment of a droplet size distribution to aid in the inversion of remotely sensed data. Physically, it is an area weighted radius of the cloud drop particles.
Mathematically, this can be expressed as r e = ∫ 0 ∞ π r 3 ⋅ n d r ∫ 0 ∞ π r 2 ⋅ n d r. The global effective particle radius has different val
