Case Studies for the Investigation of Cloud Sensitive Parameters as Measured by GOME

This project focuses on the determination of cloud properties (like geometric cloud fraction and average cloud to height) from satellite observations and on the quantification of the corresponding cloud influence on tropospheric trace gas products derived from satellites (see e.g. Burrows et al. 2000; Richter et al. 2002; Wagner et al. 2002a). The investigations first concentrate on GOME and will later also be applied to SCIAMACHY on ENVISAT.
