Abstract

Global three-hourly cloud products as produced for the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York. The data on are the ISCCP Stage D1 data (ISCCP-D1), at 280 km spatial resolution. There are 202 variables contained within the dataset, which is at three-hourly temporal resolution.

The data available at the time of publication begin in July 1983 and extend through to 1999, though a fuller version of the dataset is available directly from the NASA Atmospheric Data Center (ASDC).

This dataset contains data from a number of radiometers deployed on NOAA, GOES (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite), METEOSAT, GMS and INSAT satellites operational during this period. This dataset is public.

Use of these data is covered by the following licence: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/open-government-licence/version/3/. When using these data you must cite them correctly using the citation given on the CEDA Data Catalogue record.
Data lineage:

Data obtained during the period from 1983 to 1999 by the various satellite operators. Data acquired from the Langley Atmospheric Sciences Data Center (ASDC) in 2002 and archived at the BADC as-is. A fuller dataset is available directly from ASDC.
Data Quality:
As per documentation provided.
File Format:
Access to data, documentation and software

The archive is divided in three major directories:

README files in each directory offer more information about their contents. The data files (e.g. d1_19830701) are  available in HDF 4 format as described in the Data Directory Documentation.

The HDF libraries, source code and documentation can be obtained free of charge from the  HDF Group .
NCSA also provides a variety of tools to assist in viewing, analyzing, and displaying HDF formatted data files.

Additional data, related to ISCCP, may also be transferred directly from GISS using the anonymous FTP site.
