| description abstract | This paper presents the Statistical properties of lidar-derived values of cloud extinction coefficients σ and optical depths τ. The data were collected at Toronto during two measurement phases (phase 1: September?October 1989; phase 2: June?July 1991) or the Experimental Cloud Lidar Pilot Study. Although the small dataset limits general application of the statistical trends observed, the measurements demonstrate the valuable potential of lidar data for improving cloud parameterization in general circulation models. The measurements show the frequent occurrence of optically thin clouds (σ?≤0.2 km?1 and τ≤0.2), demonstrating the ability of lidars to detect these dilute clouds and the importance of including them in radiative transfer models. | |
