The European Space Agency Cloud Climate Change Initiative (Cloud CCI) project has as objective to provide long-term coherent cloud property data sets exploiting the synergistic capabilities of different Earth observation missions allowing for improved accuracies and enhanced temporal and spatial sampling better than those provided by the single sources.
This project seeks to utilize the increasing potential of the synergitic capabilities of past, existing and upcoming European and US missions in order to meet the increasing needs for coherent long-term cloud property datasets required by the scientific community.
