Problems • Ceilometer cloud bases from Onsala in ft • Microwave radiometer in Geesthacht during CNN II • analyis only for case studies • Uncertainty of gas absorption is about as high as differences between different radiometer (MICAM) • No microwave calibration possible in April 2001 at Kiruna • IWV from GPS, cloud detection • Russian data LWP/IWV are not reliable • Negative LWP values • Averaging of infrared temperature BBC Workshop Leipzig, May 15-16, 2002

Negative LWP values low noise leads to high relative accuracy mean over many atmospheric situations daily bias due to ill-posed problem BBC Workshop Leipzig, May 15-16, 2002
Negative LWP Values:Consequences • Analysis of whole campaigns (2 months) eliminate mean bias (over two months) deviation from zero in cloud free cases due to uncertainty in gas absorption or miscalibration • shorter case studies (one or two days) adjust LWP according to trend in cloud free conditionsdeviation due to ill-posed problem in this specific atmospheric situation BBC Workshop Leipzig, May 15-16, 2002

Future Work • Changes necessary to level2a products ? • Synergetic algorithms MRAD+IRAD+BASE only lead to minor improvement in LWP robust algorithms are more important • Analysis of regional network during BBC • Gas absorption at microwave frequencies is uncertain compute brightness temperatures from model output • Compute cloud fraction and daily cycle of cloud parameters • LWC for selected days from GKSS/MPI radar and MICCY during CNN I ?
