VIIRS/SNPP Cloud Properties COSP Level 3 daily, 1x1 deg. grid
The VIIRS/SNPP Cloud Properties COSP Level 3 daily, 1x1 degree grid product is a new L3 CLDPROP COSP Cloud product with short-name CLDPROPCOSP_D3_VIIRS_SNPP. It contains VIIRS SNPP cloud mask, cloud top, and cloud optical retrieval data over daily timeframe. It provides a set of custom cloud-related parameters for better comparison with climate model output. The “COSP” acronym in the short-name stands for Cloud Feedback Model Intercomparison Project (CFMIP) Observation Simulator Package. Provided in netCDF4 format, it contains 32 aggregated science data sets (SDS/parameters).Consult the CLDPROPCOSP User Guide for details regarding how the L3 daily statistics are computed, and to learn more about the gridding and sampling protocols specific to this product and a number of other topics germane to the user community. The collection of this product starts from March 1, 2012 and includes 365 granules each calendar year.
