For the first time, the fully automated retrieval of cloud motion from a polar orbiter is possible using a unique technique based on multiangle imagery. The main advantages of the method are the ability to simultaneously determine cloud height along with the wind and the capability of obtaining retrievals at high latitudes (up to 82¿). The first results are consistent with the prelaunch error estimates of ¿3 ms-1 for wind and ¿400 m for height. ¿ 2001 American Geophysical Union
