Description:Ground-based, experimental observations of cloud liquid water content were made during the 1979-80 Sierra Cooperative Pilot Project in northern California. The instrument used in these experiments was a combination receiver-radiometer designed to monitor, quantitatively, cloud liquid water by simultaneously measuring the absorption of radiation from a microwave source on a COMSTAR satellite and the microwave energy emitted by the absorbing cloud. Data recorded continuously during the December 14, 1979 to March 15, 1980 field season are described. Comparison of liquid water values measured by the radiometric system and by probes aboard an aircraft flown in the vicinity of the radiometer is discussed.
