Cloud Asymmetry Parameter

The Cloud Asymmetry Parameter is a dimensionless radiative property of clouds that quantifies the degree to which single scattering by cloud particles preferentially directs light forward versus backward, distinguishing it from other optical properties by characterizing the angular distribution of scattered radiation.
