ESA Cloud Climate Change Initiative (Cloud_cci): AVHRR-AM monthly gridded cloud properties, version 2.0
The Cloud_cci AVHRR-AM dataset was generated within the Cloud_cci project ( http://www.esa-cloud-cci.org) which was funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of the ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI) programme (Contract No.: 4000109870/13/I-NB). This dataset is one of the 6 datasets generated in Cloud_cci; all of them being based on passive-imager satellite measurements. This dataset is based on AVHRR (onboard NOAA-12, NOAA-15, NOAA-17, Metop-A) measurements and contains a variety of cloud properties which were derived employing the Community Cloud retrieval for Climate (CC4CL) retrieval system. The core cloud properties contained in the Cloud_cci AVHRR-AM dataset are cloud mask/fraction, cloud phase, cloud top pressure/height/temperature, cloud optical thickness, cloud effective radius and cloud liquid/ice water path. Spectral cloud albedo is also included as experimental product. Level-3C product files contain monthly averages and histograms of the mentioned cloud properties together with propagated uncertainty measures.
The L3C data here form a subset of the AVHRR-AM products produced by the Cloud CCI, and which are collectively referenced by the following DOI: Stengel, Martin; Sus, Oliver; Stapelberg, Stefan; Schlundt, Cornelia; Poulsen, Caroline; Hollmann, Rainer (2017): ESA Cloud Climate Change Initiative (ESA Cloud_cci) data: Cloud_cci AVHRR-AM L3C/L3U CLD_PRODUCTS v2.0, Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD), DOI:10.5676/DWD/ESA_Cloud_cci/AVHRR-AM/V002
