7th ICOS MeetingBerlin 04.07.2013 Presentation by Jennifer Slobodda Cloud Seminar Jennifer Slobodda
Short repetition of the last presentation • Comparisons to MODIS • Cloud Tracking and Cloud Livecycle • Representativity study Cloud Seminar Jennifer Slobodda
Retrieval for effective Radius and optical depth from SEVIRI • Combination of 0.6µm, (0.8µm), 1.6µm (and 3.9µm) to retrieve cloud optical depth (COD), effective radius (Reff) (and cloud top height (CTH)) • Separation of radiative effects of clouds, atmosphere and ground (DCOPM; Walther and Heidinger 2012) Atmospheric correction above cloud Cloud properties above black surface Albedo + atmosphere below cloud Cloud Seminar Jennifer Slobodda
In formulas Only for thermal channels Atmospheric correction above cloud TOC – top of cloud cld – cloud abc – atmosphere below cloud aac – atmosphere above cloud Mes – measured RSc – Rayleigh scattering R – reflectance T – transmission S – spherical albedo A – surface albedo I – radiance F0 – solar irradiance µ0 – cos(solar zenith) d – earth-sun distance B – planck function ε - emissivity Cloud Seminar Jennifer Slobodda
KNMI correction of SEVIRI calibration: • Recalibration of SEVIRI data with MODIS measurements • Channel 1 (640nm) : correction factor ~1.08 • Channel 2 (805nm): no correction • Channel 3 (1635nm): correction factor ~0.97 • Channel 4 (3900nm): no correction Cloud Seminar Jennifer Slobodda

Cloud Tracking • program written by Marc Schröder • based on cloud overlap in two time steps • identification of convective cells with 10.8µm-BT threshold (default is 230K ) • mainly calculates mean values of BT or radiance/reflectance, lon & lat, number of pixels… • I want to modify the code so that I can calculate mean values of microphysical cloud properties Cloud Seminar Jennifer Slobodda
Cloud Tracking – Beispiel 23.05.2012 Cloud Seminar Jennifer Slobodda
Cloud Tracking and Lifecycle • Examination of time-series of convective cells • Identification of the cell at the next time step (criteria) • how do mean values of COD and Reff change REff ? t COD Cloud Seminar Jennifer Slobodda
Representativity • all data from SEVIRI channels 0.6µm, 0.8µm, 1.6µm and 10.8µm over one year for 21x21 Pixel • deviding according to fully cloudy, clear and partly cloudy • calculating correlation between the time series of each Pixel to the Pixel in the middle • calculating mean values and standard deviations for each pixel Cloud Seminar Jennifer Slobodda

Summary and Outlook • with recalibration quite good agreement between my MSG retrieval and MODIS • increasing of optical depth and effective radius during a cloud lifecycle • though the methods to calculate IWP from Reff and COD weren’t developed for thunderstorms initially the values agrees quite well with ground measurements • for cloudy sky the representativity of the ground measurement decreases after about 3x3 MSG-Pixel (10-15km) especially for complex ground below the clouds; for optical propertie the correlation is even worth • cloud tracking provides first results but has to be modified for the intended usage Cloud Seminar Jennifer Slobodda
