43 Information on cloud top height (and trace gas profile) is essential Nearly all GOME pixels (320 x 40 km²) are partly covered with clouds Clouds are typically much brighter than the cloud free scenes (except over ice and snow) Two dominant effects of clouds: A) Shielding effect for trace gases below clouds B) Albedo effect for trace gases above clouds (nearly no cloud effect for stratospheric trace gases)

44 Clouds, trace gas concentrations and surface properties can vary strongly accross one GOME ground pixel Minimum requirements: Cloud Fraction Cloud Top Height

45 Traditional Cloud algorithms for GOME Cloud fraction from the O 2 -A-band absorption (e.g. FRESCO, ICFA, etc..) Problems: Saturation, complicated radiative transport, interference with snow/ice Cloud fraction from High spatially resolved (20 x 40 km²) broad band spectral measurements (PMD) (e.g. CRAG, PCRA, OCRA, CRUSA, etc.) Problems: Interference with ice/snow

46 Existing cloud algorithms have problems over polar regions because of the high ground albedo CRUSA (Wenig, 2001) FRESCO (Koelemeijer et al., 2001)

50 A Cloud product for Polar regions? O 4 and O 2 absorptions at 630 nm show different dependence on the cloud top height because of the different height profiles O 4 absorptions at different wavelengths (360 and 630 nm) show different dependence on the cloud top height because of the different strength of multiple scattering From the simultaneous observations of the O 4 bands at 360 and 630 nm as well as the O 2 band at 630 it should thus be possible to separate the effects of varying cloud fraction and cloud top height.

58 Conclusions & Future: Several Tropospheric data are already available (Several Groups and Instruments) More detailed cloud information is needed for the analysis of tropospheric data from space (Additional cloud sensitive parameters have to be used) Development of a new prototype cloud algorithm for polar regions using O 2 and O 4 absorptions Data from SCIAMACHY on ENVISAT
