Remote sensing of cloud top pressure/height from SEVIRI: analysis of ten current retrieval algorithms

Remote sensing of cloud top pressure/height from SEVIRI: analysis of ten current retrieval algorithms

The role of clouds remains the largest uncertainty in climate projections. They influence solar and thermal radiative transfer and the earth's water cycle. Therefore, there is an urgent need for accurate cloud observations to validate climate models and to monitor climate change. Passiv...
