Data assimilation of satellite observations in cloud and rain regions is a worldwide problem. In the paper, we designed the background field and their error covariance of three cloud water variables (cloud cover, cloud liquid water and cloud ice water) at first. The experiment results demonstrate that 1D-Var (One-dimensional variational data assimilation) can retrieve the three variables efficiently. The cloud liquid water and cloud ice water can be obviously improved by 1D-Var. However, the retrieved effect of low cloud cover is still to be improved. It has the positive potential to assimilate the satellite observations in cloud and rain regions.
