MICRU: an effective cloud fraction algorithm designed for UV–vis satellite instruments with large viewing angles

Clouds impact the radiative transfer of the Earth's atmosphere and strongly influence satellite measurements in the ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and infrared (IR) spectral ranges. For satellite measurements of trace gases absorbing in the UV-vis spectral range, particularly clouds ultimately de...

Zusammenfassung:Clouds impact the radiative transfer of the Earth's atmosphere and strongly influence satellite measurements in the ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and infrared (IR) spectral ranges. For satellite measurements of trace gases absorbing in the UV-vis spectral range, particularly clouds ultimately determine the vertical sensitivity profile, mainly by reducing the sensitivity for trace-gas columns below the cloud.
