MTSAT-2 Cloud-Top Height Data and Imagery

Project:

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
