LWC - Scaled adiabatic method

• Use lidar/radar to determine cloud boundaries
• Use model to estimate adiabatic gradient of lwc
• Scale adiabatic lwc profile to match lwp from
  radiometers

3

• Compare measured lwp to adiabatic lwc
• obtain dilution coefficient
• Dilution coefficient versus
• depth of cloud
