An improved cirrus detection algorithm MeCiDA2 for SEVIRI and its evaluation with MODIS

In this study, a substantially improved version of the Meteosat cirrus detection algorithm (MeCiDA2) will be presented, which now allows application to the full earth disc visible by the Meteosat satellite. As cirrus clouds have an influence on the radiation budget of the earth, their optical proper...
