THE RADAR/RADIOMETER RETRIEVED CLOUD MICROPHYSICAL PRODUCTS DISPLAYED HERE ARE CONSIDERED 
PRELIMINARY.  IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN OBTAINING THE RETRIEVED DATA, PLEASE CONTACT:

Matthew Shupe:  mshupe@etl.noaa.gov    OR   Taneil Uttal:   tuttal@etl.noaa.gov

	All water content and particle size values displayed here are products of theory
and retrieval algorithms developed at NOAA/ETL.  Ice cloud properties (ice water content
and particle diameters) are derived from radar reflectivity and IR radiometer brightness
temperature data.  Liquid cloud properties (liquid water content and effective particle
radii) are derived from radar reflectivity and microwave radiometer liquid water path
data.  For more specific information on the retrieval techniques contact the above
individuals.
