Joint PDFs of IWP and effective radius in a single pixel for the case in which cloud top
and base height are fixed (
a
,
c
,
d
,
e
,and
f
)andvaried(
b
). Plots correspond to cases in which (
a
)
only solid columns are allowed, (
b
) only solid columns are allowed, and cloud top and base height
is allowed to vary by
1km, (
c
) only droxtals are allowed, (
d
) only bullet rosettes are allowed,
(
e
) only aggregates are allowed, and (
f
) all crystal shapes are considered. Note that a white line
has been added to (
d
) to highlight the secondary mode in the joint PDF of bullet rosettes (Adapted
from Figs. 4b and 6 in
