| Zusammenfassung |
| The SemiAnalytical CloUd Retrieval Algorithm (SACURA) is applied
to the SCanning Imaging Absorption spectroMeter for Atmospheric
CHartographY (SCIAMACHY) data. In particular, we derive
simultaneously cloud optical thickness (COT) and cloud top
height (CTH), using SCIAMACHY measurements in the visible
(442 nm, COT) and in the oxygen A-band (755–775 nm, CTH). Some
of the results obtained are compared with those derived from the
Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS), which has better
spatial resolution and observes almost the same scene as
SCIAMACHY. The same cloud algorithm is applied to both MERIS and
SCIAMACHY data. In addition, we perform the vicarious calibration
of SCIAMACHY at the wavelength 442 nm, using MERIS measurements at
the same wavelength. Differences in the retrieved COT for the same
cloud field obtained using MERIS and SCIAMACHY measurements are
discussed. |
