AB: We will present preliminary results of Aura MLS cloud radiance and cloud ice water content measurements, including a global morphology of cloud occurrence frequency derived from the first three months of Aura in orbit. Initial data from MLS during August 2004 is well correlated with GMAO OLR field in the tropics, and with cloud features in AIRS radiances. Data from the first three months of MLS observations will be compared to other satellite and meteorological data sets (e.g. AIRS, GMAO). Updated results and interpretations will be presented at the meeting.
