Hi there,
In cloudy situations, current studies relating to the satellite data assimilation mostly focus on the infrared- and microwave-band data. Why are the visible- and near infrared-band data not used in the data assimilation process? As far as I know, they also represent some important cloud information, say, cloud optical thickness and effective radius are retrieved from the visible and near-infrared-band data. Could someone please give an explanation?
Kind regards,
Yongbo
here's a link to a collection of cloud data retrieved from a number of satellite instruments: https://climserv.ipsl.polytechnique.fr/gewexca/index-1.html
If you go through the descriptions of the instruments, you'll see that both "missing" bands you mentioned are used. Feel free to download the corresponding datasets and use them in your studies.

Thank you very much for all the above explanations, which are really helpful. It will take some time for me to digest all the materials you provided.
If you choose to use

you can create a "color" filter!
