| Abstract | Cloud top heights (CTHs) of atmospheric motion vectors (AMV) derived from METEOSAT-8 are compared against collocated CALIOP lidar cloud tops. Comparisons have been performed using METEOSAT-8 AMV intermediate product and intermediate Cloud Analysis (CLA) product for 21 days period in spring 2007. An overall good agreement has been found between all CTHs from MSG (CLA box and AMV) and CALIOP. However, the AMV pressure allocation is systematically higher than CALIOP retrieval for semi-transparent clouds. The correction methods applied for dense low level clouds are identified to have a positive impact on AMV pressure. Detailed comparisons for various cloud types are presented and discussed in this paper. I |
