MAGIC Cloud Properties from Zenith Radiance Data Final Campaign Summary

- Brookhaven National Lab. (BNL), Upton, NY (United States)
Cloud droplet size and optical depth are the most fundamental properties for understanding cloud formation, dissipation and interactions with aerosol and drizzle. They are also a crucial determinant of Earth’s radiative and water-energy balances. However, these properties are poorly predicted in climate models. As a result, the response of clouds to climate change is one of the major sources of uncertainty in climate prediction.
