Dependence of the PSD effective diameter De (µm) on the effective absorption optical depth ratio βeff as predicted from the method of Parol et al. (1991), based on PSDs from SPARTICUS synoptic cirrus (blue squares) and anvils (black squares), and TC4 aged (red diamonds) and fresh (black diamonds) anvils, where the first size-bin is included (N(D)1 unmodified). The larger (smaller) symbols denote PSDs measured at a temperature colder (warmer) than −38°C. The curve-fit equations give 1/De in µm−1; they are for SPARTICUS synoptic cirrus (blue) and for TC4 aged and fresh anvils (red).
