GOES-7 VAS Derived Products Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/4.16

Summary
The GOES-7 VISSR Atmospheric Sensor allowed for the derivation of (for
clear/partly cloudy conditions) cloud cover, earth/cloud temperatures, cloud
type, cloud motion derived winds, stereo derived cloud-top heights, water
vaporand temperature fields, improved surface temperatures and vertical
profiles of temperature and moisture. Also, precipitable water was derived.
The parameters able to be derived depends on the mode of operation of the
satellite (normal/RISOP).
