AB  - The Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) is a Fourier transform spectrometer for the detection of limb emission spectra in the middle and upper atmosphere. MIPAS cloud spectra contain a variety of crucial information about atmospheric processes such as cloud formation, chemical interaction of clouds and trace gases. The exploration of the scientific extremely valuable spectra – measured by MIPAS for the first time globally with unprecedented spectral resolution – has been just started. First publications on cloud observations of MIPAS already demonstrate the great scientific impact these data can achieve together with new developed scientific algorithms. However, so far no validated and consolidated MIPAS cloud product is available for the scientific community. Therefore the aim of the ESA study Cloud Information Retrieval from MIPAS Measurements is the development of a cloud processor with standardized and validated product parameters.In this context the purpose of the present Technical Note is to review the progress in the study of the feasibility to retrieve micro and macro physical information from the MIPAS Level 1 data.
