Figure 2. (Top) Sample temperature cross-section from MERRA retrospective analysis interpolated onto a CloudSat track; Granule 01132, July 15 2006, 01:52 Z to 03:31 Z. (Bottom) Schematic diagram illustrating how undiluted surface parcel height is determined from reanalysis fields. This will be used as a predictor for vertical correlation scales in CloudSat data.
