  12. 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

  15. LWP for Kiruna April 2001 Only few liquid water clouds at Kiruna in April 2001 BBC Workshop Leipzig, May 15-16, 2002

  17. Russian data during MICAM BBC Workshop Leipzig, May 15-16, 2002

  18. 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

  19. 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

  20. LWP evaluation using IR and Ceilometer IR-Radiometer Comparison MIUB (KT19):  = 1 s  = 0.7 IR-Temperature (MIUB) / °C IR-Temperature (KNMI) / °C KNMI (KT15):  = 10 min  = 2.8 BBC Workshop Leipzig, May 15-16, 2002

  24. 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 ?
