ESA Cloud Climate Change Initiative (Cloud CCI): L3C cloud properties from MODIS on Terra, Version 1.0
Abstract
Cloud properties derived from the MODIS instrument on NASA's Terra satellite by the ESA Cloud CCI project. The L3C dataset consists of data combined (averaged) from a single instrument into a global space-time grid, with a spatial resolution of 0.5 degrees lat/lon and a temporal resolution of 1 month.
This dataset is version 1.0 data from Phase 1 of the CCI project.
