Using integrated surface radiation measurements to infer cloud properties

In recent years the advance of cloud measurement instrumentation has lead to the deployment of several sophisticated surface cloud and radiation sites such as those of the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program. These data are used in the retrieval of cloud properties, especially microphysical. In turn, the retrieved properties are used for developing, improving, and testing models and satellite retrievals. However, one drawback to these sophisticated measurement suites is their cost. Thus, there are but a few sites of this type around the globe.
