Brief Cloud Synopsis

May 15, 1998:

Liquid stratus cloud (tops at 2 km AGL) from 00:00-18:00. Intermittent precipitation which lidar indicates is mostly liquid. Radiometer, however, shows very little liquid (0.02 mm) until 22:00-24:00 when it ramps up to 0.1 mm. After 18:00 the cloud system changes to a more shallow liquid stratus (tops below 500 m) with scattered mid-level clouds between 4-6 km AGL.
