Distinction between clouds and ice/snow covered surfaces in the identification of cloud-free observations using SCIAMACHY PMDs

SCIAMACHY on ENVISAT allows measurement of different trace gases including those most abundant in the troposphere (e.g. CO<sub>2</sub>, NO<sub>2</sub>, CH<sub>4</sub>, BrO, SO<sub>2</sub>). However, clouds in the observed scenes can severely hinder t...
