| description | Percentage liquid-cloud cover as seen by the MODIS instrument simulator. Dimensions of LWP (cloud liquid water path) and r\_eff (droplet effective radius). The effective radius bin edges are defined in the COSP simulator (see lines 134-152 of cosp\_config.F90: https://github.com/CFMIP/COSPv2.0/blob/master/src/cosp_config.F90) |
