SEMIANALYTICAL CLOUD RETRIEVAL ALGORITHM AND ITS APPLICATION TO DATA FROM MULTIPLE OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS ON SPACEBORNE PLATFORMS: SCIAMACHY, MERIS, MODIS, SeaWiFS AND GOME Alexander A. Kokhanovsky, Vladimir V. Rozanov Wolfgang von Hoyningen-Huene, John P. Burrows Institute of Remote Sensing, Bremen University P. O. Box Bremen, Germany

PARAMETERS to be retrieved: 1. Cloud optical thickness /5-100/ 2. Cloud top height /0.5-10km/ 3. Cloud cover /0-1/ 4. Cloud albedo/ / 5. Liquid water path / / 6. Thermodynamic phase /ice, water or mixed clouds/ 7. Average size of droplets/crystals

PHYSICAL BASIS Bi-spectral measurement of TOA reflectance to get cloud optical thickness (visible), cloud droplet radius (IR) Spectrally resolved measurements (approximately, 50 spectral points in the oxygen A-band nm) to get CTH, CBH The ratio R(1550)/R(1670) for the ice/water cloud discrimination

Conclusions Most of important cloud parameters can be retrieved using spectral top of atmosphere reflectance measured by SCIAMACHY. The calibration of the instrument should be improved for this, however. Cases of inhomogeneous clouds can bias retrieval results considerably. This should be clarified in future research. The information on clouds obtained on a global and regional scale should enhance our studies of climate change, including anthropogenic influences on cloud microphysical and optical properties.
