The amount of liquid water per
unit volume of air. Cloud Liquid/Ice Water is usually expressed either in g/m
3
or g/kg. It varies greatly from cloud to cloud. On the average, for a typical cloud it varies
from 0.05 to 3 g/m
3
. Cloud Liquid Water plays an important role in the transport of
energy (latent heat) in the Earth-atmosphere system.
