AB: We have implemented an algorithm for the Tropospheric Emission Spectrometer (TES) that retrieves the altitude and optical depth of a frequency-dependent single-layer cloud. TES retrievals with this implementation using a simulated dataset succeed for targets containing a wide range of optical depths and cloud altitudes. TES retrievals with actual instrument data have markedly higher success rates with this approach. Additionally, this cloud retrieval approach makes possible the retrieval and error characterization of atmospheric parameters like temperature, water, and ozone, in the presence of clouds.
