Subject: SGP/RIPBE/C1 - Reprocessed: Cloud liquid water path incorrect
Affected Datastreams: sgpripbe1mcfarlaneC1.c1
Description In the calculation of cloud layer liquid water path, the factor representing the width of the RIPBE height bin (45 m in cloud layers) was neglected. Therefore, the cld_lwp variable is too small by a factor of 45. This factor was included in the calculation of cloud layer ice water path, so the cld_iwp variable is correct. Multiply cld_lwp by a factor of 45 to get the correct cloud layer liquid water path. Reprocessing completed 20121128.
