Relation of rain clouds from satellite cloud classification to conventional precipitation surface data for Central Europe

The scope of this paper is to show how satellite-derived cloud data and synoptic cloud data can be combined for the analysis of precipitation events. By applying the maximum-likelihood-method a bi-spectral cloud classification of Meteosat data has been performed and these data were compared to synop...
