MTSAT-2 Cloud-Top Height Data and Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/383.053

Summary
A link to the Kyoto University Cloud-top height product estimated by
geostationary satellite website. Cloud top heights and visible optical
thickness are estimated through using 2-dimensional look-up tables as a
function of geostationary satellite split-window measurements (at ∼11 and
∼12μm) made through comparison with CloudSat radar echo top height
