Cloud Optical Property Parameterization

Cloud Optical Property Parameterization is a systematic method within atmospheric radiative transfer modeling that specifies the radiatively relevant characteristics of clouds—such as optical depth, single-scattering albedo, and asymmetry factor—as functions of cloud macrophysical and microphysical properties to enable their representation in climate and weather prediction models.
