In this paper, a methodology to retrieve cloud water content profiles from operational satellite data is described. Initial results, comparisons with CloudSat and Calipso active sensor data, and potential applications are presented. This new product could provide an improved depiction of the vertical distribution of cloud water at the high spatial and temporal resolution needed for short term weather analyses and forecasts.
