The ISCCP (International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project) began its operational data collection phase on July 1, 1983. Considerable research efforts ensured that the compression of basic satellite data did not reduce the information content on cloudiness. At present an operational algorithm has been developed and tested with data from several months, whereas a target for very intensive use by the research community the data from April 1985 are selected. These concur with a simultaneous data set of the ERBE. Special efforts are now underway to map also clouds over both polar regions and may lead to the development of new specific algorithms. Several preliminary results are presented in this paper.
