3D cloud products for weather prediction and climate modelling

In this paper, the possibilities of satellite-based and ground-based stereoscopy of clouds are examined, with the objective to derive cloud top and cloud base heights and motion. These parameters are very important for a better description of clouds for nowcasting and numerical weather prediction mo...
