Short summary
An innovative and flexible methodology for cloud identification and classification, CIC, is tested on a synthetic dataset of high spectral resolution radiances in the far- and mid-infrared part of the spectrum, simulating measurements from the FORUM (Far Infrared Outgoing Radiation Understanding and Monitoring) mission. Results show that classification scores are greatly increased when far-infrared channels are accounted for and the identification of thin cirrus clouds is improved.
