The MSG-SEVIRI-based cloud property data record CLAAS-2

Abstract: Abstract. Clouds play a central role in the Earth's atmosphere, and satellite observations are crucial for monitoring clouds and understanding their impact on the energy budget and water cycle. Within the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites (EUMETSAT) Satellite Application Facility on Climate Monitoring (CM SAF), a new cloud property data record was derived from geostationary Meteosat Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI) measurements for the time frame 2004… Show more

“…Cloud properties derived from geostationary measurements of SEVIRI have been used in this study, that is, data of the CLoud property dAtAset using SEVIRI dataset edition 2 (CLAAS-2; Benas et al, 2017;Stengel et al, 2014). In particular, cloud mask, cloud top temperature, cloud top phase, cloud effective radius, and cloud optical thickness, in pixel resolution of 3 × 3 km 2 at subsatellite point and approximately 4 × 5 km 2 over Europe, are used with a temporal resolution of 15 min.…”

“…Further information can be found in Derrien and Le Gléau (2005) and Derrien (2013). This results in one of the following cloud types: liquid, supercooled, opaque ice, cirrus, overlap, or overshooting, which are then further converted to a binary cloud phase (Benas et al, 2017). For cloud top pressure retrieval, the measurements in SEVIRI infrared channels are matched to clear-sky and cloudy simulations of these using the Radiative Transfer for TOVS (Matricardi et al, 2004;Saunders et al, 1999) and ERA-Interim (Dee et al, 2011) as source for all required ancillary data.…”

“…The CM SAF cLouds, Albedo and Radiation dataset from the AVHRR (CLARA-A2) data record [10] is the second edition of the CM SAF's global data record of cloud, surface albedo and surface radiation products derived from homogenized measurements of AVHRR on board the polar orbiting NOAA (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18) and Metop (A) satellites. Herein, we used CFC monthly means compiled from all AVHRR sensors over a time period 1982-2015 and provided by CM SAF on a global regular latitude-longitude grid with 0.25 degree resolution.…”
