Abstract
In this paper, comparison and analysis of different cloud models are performed for detecting the cloud and its vertical structure for Ka-band satellite applications. One-month radiosonde data is processed for cloud detection and its base height calculation using some published cloud models. With the ceilometer (CL31) data as reference, it is found that the Salonen Uppala model is the most suitable one for cloud detection in this study.
