GOES-10 NOAA/NESDIS Fog Depth Product
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/68.043

Summary
The GOES-10 NOAA/NESDIS Fog Depth Product (GIF) is one of several satellite
products collected as part of the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine
Stratocumulus Phase-II: Entrainment Studies (DYCOMS-II) project field catalog
operated by the National Center For Atmospheric Research/Earth Observing
Laboratory (NCAR/EOL: http://catalog.eol.ucar.edu/dycoms). The experimental
fog depth displayed in the color enhanced image is an estimate of the cloud
layer thickness based on the IR brightness difference between GOES channel 2
(3.9 micron) and channel 4 (10.7 micron). The products cover the period from
3-31 July 2001 (except 27-30 July) and cover the DYCOMS-II region and the
South West United States (25-42 N and 95-130 W). The products are available
hourly during the night (03-12 UTC). The products were acquired from the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Environmental
Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) Office of Research and
Applications. All images are in gif format.
