Data was mostly sampled at flight altitudes between 9.5 km and 14.5 km.
LWP denotes the total mass of all liquid water hydrometeors in the atmospheric column. The estimated contribution due to rain drops is included in the product as RWP. The cloud water path (CWP or atmosphere_mass_content_of_cloud_liquid_water) can be derived as difference LWP - RWP. The distinction of the hydrometeor classes rain and cloud liquid water follows the definition in the ICON model.
