MTSAT Rapid Scan Satellite Cloud Products Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/384.007

Summary
This dataset contains NASA Langley Satellite Cloud products from the High
Altitude Ice Crystals - High Ice Water Content (HAIC-HIWC) project that took
place in Darwin, Australia. These data are derived from the MTSAT-1R satellite
and are pixel-level cloud products. NASA-Langley cloud and radiation products
are produced using the VISST (Visible Infrared Solar-infrared Split-Window
Technique), SIST (Solar-infrared Infrared Split-Window Technique) and SINT
(Solar-infrared Infrared Near-Infrared Technique). The data files are in
netCDF format and are grouped into .tar files by day. Latest Update: Added
additional satellite data files for February 3, 4, 5, 6, and 10, 2014.
