This dataset contains radiative data retrievals based on observations from the A-train of satellites. The offline version of the ECMWF radiative transfer scheme (ecRad) has been used to estimate the profiles of broadband radiative fluxes and heating rates at the 1km along-track and 60m vertical resolution of the CCM-CAP (attached to this dataset) product; the top-of-atmosphere radiative fluxes have been compared to CERES broadband flux measurements along the CloudSat track for a simple radiative closure assessment.

The dataset covers the period that include observations from CloudSat, CALIPSO and MODIS together with the DARDAR cloud classification. Files each include a single granule of retrievals together with errors and metadata of retrieval quality.
