Summary
A link is provided to the Colorado State University CLOUDSAT Data Processing
Center Year of Tropical Convection (YOTC) dataset. This special dataset
contains convection and cloud related A-Train satellite values collocated to
CloudSat footprints for the period May 2008 to April 2010. Products include
quantities from Calipso, MLS, AIRS, AMSR-E, CERES, MODIS and a number of
fields from the specialized YOTC analysis produced by ECMWF.
