Description: Stereo cloud top height measurements, accurate to within + or - 500 m, have been performed using operational weather satellites. The stereo has been demonstrated using various combinations of GEO and LEO satellites, and the use of synthetic stereo was considered. Stereo can be done over most of the earth (60 deg S to 60 deg N) during the day; at higher latitudes and at night, stereo can be done using two LEOs if the proper coincidences occur. The usefulness of stereo cloud top height measurements has been demonstrated by many studies of convective storm cloud systems. Recommendations relating to short, medium, and long term planning regarding stereo observations from meteorological satellites are outlined.
