This manuscript presents a new technique for obtaining cloud and drizzle liquid water path by combining multi-channel microwave radiometer, Doppler cloud radar and ceilometer measurements.The new technique is applied to observations of precipitating stratocumulus clouds and evaluated qualitatively by comparison with Doppler cloud radar spectra.The technique shows great promise and will aid the community investigating the properties of stratocumulus by providing a new piece of information, although the full potential is not explored deeply in this initial study.This manuscript is almost ready for C1
