Cloud Index retrievals from MIPAS ENVISAT L1B using MIPclouds algorithm

This data set contains retrievals from Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding on Envisat (MIPAS-ENVISAT) cloud and aerosol and contains information on derived cloud-top height (km), cloud-top temperature (K), cloud extinction (cm-1), with uncertainties. It also includes the measured radiance in the three cloud microwindow bands (832.0-834.4 cm-1, 1232.3-1234.4 cm-1, 1973.0-1983.0 cm-1), with noise equivalent spectral radiance values. Cloud index values are also included which can be used to distinguish different clouds types based on the index value.
