Maritime-Continental Contrasts in the Properties of Low-Level Clouds: A Case Study of the Summer of the 2003 Yamase, Japan, Cloud Event
Figure 14
Scatter plots of cloud top pressure (a), effective radius () (b), optical thickness () (c), and cloud water path (d) over land and ocean based on the 12 cases of lower-level cloud in the two periods (end of July and middle of August) detected by the MODIS onboard the Terra and Aqua satellites. One-to-one lines are also plotted. Horizontal and vertical bars indicate standard deviations () of each parameter over land and ocean in the Sanriku area (black box, Figure 3(a)), respectively. Explanations of symbols are as shown in (a).
