Problems
BBC Workshop Leipzig, May 15-16, 2002
• 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
BBC Workshop Leipzig, May 15-16, 2002
daily bias due to ill-posed problem
low noise leads to high relative accuracy
mean over many atmospheric situations
Negative LWP Values:Consequences
BBC Workshop Leipzig, May 15-16, 2002
• 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 conditions
deviation due to ill-posed problem in this specific atmospheric situation

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 ?
