Sensitivities of the split window bands to COT, effective particle radius, and cloud thermodynamic phase. Theoretical relationships of BTDs with COT (a, b) and BT (c, d) in the 11 μm band. Calculations are shown for different effective particle radii for ice and liquid clouds with the same CTTs of 247 K in a typical tropical atmosphere with sea surface temperature of 300 K. The two-habit model from Liu et al. (2014) is assumed for ice particles
