Scientific paper

A promising way of improving cloud property retrieval, is the combined use of new ensemble of data based on different measurement techniques. As a first step, a comparative study of cloudiness observed by SEVIRI on board Meteosat-8 and POLDER2 (POLarization and Directionality of the Earth's Reflectances) is performed. POLDER-2 cloud products are available only from April to October, 23rd 2003, the end of service of the ADEOS-2 platform. Several days in June 2003 are analyzed. The SEVIRI radiance data and the SAFNWC (Satellite Application Facility in support to NoW Casting) cloud products have been provided by the "Centre de Météorologie Spatiale" in Lannion (France). The SEVIRI cloud type and cloud top pressure products are checked against cloud top pressure and thermodynamic phase retrieved from POLDER. A cloud classification based on a Dynamical Clustering Method (DCM) is applied to SEVIRI data for an other interpretation. Late 2004, PARASOL will be launch in the frame of the A-train. The study engaged between POLDER2 and SEVIRI will then go further.
