The paper introduces an explainable contrastive learning model that maps five monthly cloud and radiation fields into a shared representation space to analyze perturbed parameter ensembles (PPEs) in climate simulations. Trained on two 100-member Community Atmosphere Model version 6 PPEs differing only in the warm rain microphysics scheme (KK2000 vs. TAU-ML), the model achieves over 94% linear classification accuracy while preserving seasonal variability and ensemble spread. The learned representations place satellite observations on the same low‑dimensional manifold as the PPEs, with TAU-ML PPE closer to observations, and Integrated Gradients attribution identifies key regional contributions linked to cloud microphysics, boundary layer turbulence, and deep convection.

The study presents a spatially aware deep learning framework that retrieves all‑sky tropospheric temperature and humidity profiles from the Meteosat Third Generation Flexible Combined Imager (FCI) without relying on numerical weather prediction background fields. Using a Residual U‑Net trained on 14 months of collocated FCI observations and CERRA reanalysis data, the model achieves temperature biases below 0.4 K and relative humidity standard deviations between 12–20 %, with modest performance degradation under cloud cover. Ablation and feature‑sensitivity analyses confirm that incorporating spatial context across all 16 FCI channels, including visible and near‑infrared bands, improves retrieval accuracy, especially beneath cloud tops.
