Cloud retrievals from satellite data using optimal estimation: evaluation and application to ATSR

Cloud retrievals from satellite data using optimal estimation: evaluation and application to ATSR

Clouds play an important role in balancing the Earth's radiation budget. Hence, it is vital that cloud climatologies are produced that quantify cloud macro and micro physical parameters and the associated uncertainty. In this paper, we present an algorithm ORAC (Oxford-RAL retrieval of Aerosol...
