Abstract A cloud description, made inside the HIRS F.O.V. by the AVHRR imager, is used to compute the cloud contribution in the sounding measurements. The study indicates, for the main HIRS channels, an accuracy of cloudy TOVS retrievals of about 0.5°C in mean and 1°C in standard deviation. The process using GAC insteed of AVHRR data is also tested.
