Short summary

The IIR Level 2 data products include cloud effective emissivities and cloud microphysical properties such as effective diameter (D_e) and ice or liquid water path estimates. This paper (Part I) describes the improvements in the V4 algorithms compared to those used in the version 3 (V3) release, while results are presented in a companion paper (Part II).
