Evaluating the diurnal cycle in cloud top temperature from SEVIRI

Abstract:

The variability of convective cloud spans a wide range of temporal and spatial scales and is of fundamental importance for global weather and climate systems. Datasets from geostationary satellite instruments such as SEVIRI provide high time resolution observations across a large area. In this study we use data from SEVIRI to quantify the diurnal cycle of cloud top temperature within the instrument’s field of view and discuss these results in relation to retrieval biases.
