Cloud microstructure

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004433

The detailed physical properties of the individual particles within a cloud, including their size distribution, shape, phase (liquid or ice), and concentration. This internal structure influences the cloud's radiative properties, its potential for precipitation, and its overall impact on atmospheric processes. It is often measured by aircraft-mounted probes.
