Scaling of Drizzle Virga Depth With Cloud Thickness for Marine Stratocumulus Clouds

Abstract Drizzle is frequently observed in marine stratocumulus clouds and plays a crucial role in cloud lifetime and the radiation budget. Most drizzling stratocumulus clouds form drizzle virga below cloud base, where subcloud scavenging and evaporative cooling are important. We use unique ground‐b...
