abstract = {Simple radiance ratios have been used for the detection of
clouds around the tropopause and in the winter polar
stratosphere from the infra-red spectra of two remote
sensing instruments, the cryogenic infrared spectrometers
and telescopes for the atmosphere (CRISTA) flown on two
space shuttle missions in 1994 and 1997 and the Michelson
interferometer for passive atmospheric sounding (MIPAS)
launched on ENVISAT in March 2002. This very successful
approach was first applied to different wavelength regions
of the CRISTA measurements and was then used as a pre-flight
validation test for a cloud detection algorithm of the
operational retrieval processor for MIPAS. Preliminary
results are now available from the MIPAS instrument and are
presented here. First, cloud top heights have been derived
down to 12 kin by the detection method and show quite
reasonable results. In addition, modelled spectra and
measurements show that the extension of the method to lower
altitudes - potentially down to 6 km should be possible.
Second, the high spectral resolution of the MIPAS
measurements allows in addition the detection of scattering
effects in the spectra, which gives the future opportunity
to retrieve information about the size of the scattering
particles. In particular, an index has been developed which
allows large particle clouds to be identified. Finally,
investigations of CRISTA spectra have already shown that the
differentiation of polar stratospheric cloud (PSC) types is
possible based on their characteristic spectral features.
Application of the differentiation method to the tropics
shows no indication for clouds containing PSC-like
nitric-acid-hydrate particles. (C) 2003 COSPAR. Published by
