Dear authors, dear editor,

This is a very interesting study, which provides a tool (regional cloud mask) that could be useful for further applications. My comments and suggestions are attached as supplement.

Kind regards, Sebastian Bley

Short summary

Two cloud-masking approaches, a local and a regional approach, using high-resolution satellite data are developed and validated for the region of Paris to improve applicability for analyses of urban effects on low clouds. We found that cloud masks obtained from the regional approach are more appropriate for the high-resolution analysis of locally induced cloud processes. Its applicability is tested for the analysis of typical fog conditions over different surface types.
