Short summary
One important property of a cloud is the concentration of cloud drops. This property is relevant to how the cloud interacts with sunlight and how easily the cloud forms precipitation. Measuring this property from satellite observations is one important source of data, but it does require making some assumptions. This study evaluates the accuracy of satellite-derived drop concentration by a comparison with aircraft measurements.
