Abstract
Cloud radiative and microphysical properties, aerosols and vertical air motions will be observed by The Earth Clouds Aerosol and Radiation Explorer (JAXA/ESA) with a high-sensitivity W-band Doppler Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) and a 355 nm high spectral resolution Atmospheric Lidar (ATLID). Standard and research algorithms for cloud-precipitation have been developed to make the most of the new observation capabilities of the satellite that will be useful for understanding the interaction between cloud microphysics and in-cloud air motion. Overview of the active sensor-based algorithms prepared for the EarthCARE satellite mission, and applications of the methodologies to investigate the physical processes associated with clouds, precipitation and air-motion are discussed.
