 ===== Summary =====
-ICOS stands for //Integrationg Cloud Observations from Ground and Space - a Way to Combine Time and Space Information// and is a project granted by the German Research Community ([[http://www.dfg.de|DFG]]).

 Cloud processes remain one of the largest challenges in atmospheric research partly due to a gap in statistically significant observations of cloud macro- and microphysical properties.

 The method will be developed on the basis of existing data sets from observation sites at [[http://www.cesar-observatory.nl|Cabauw]], [[http://www.dwd.de/mol|Lindenberg]] and [[http://www.arm.gov/sites/amf/fkb/|AMF]]/Murg Valley.
 ===== Objectives =====
+  - Incorporate MSG measurements into the IPT in a physically consistent way.
+  - Determine the temporal evolution (history) of the air mass which transports the cloud observed by ground-based observations as a new parameter in cloud observation.
+  - Assess the spatial representativeness of ground-based column observations (upscaling).
+  - Compare the cloud radiation budget from observation and radiative transfer modeling to better understand the energy-transformation of the cloudy atmosphere and its feedback in the climate system.
