GOES-15 NASA Langley Cloud and Radiation Properties Data

Project:

CSET

Summary

This data set contains the GOES-15 retrievals of cloud and radiation properties produced by NASA Langley Research Center 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 were collected for the CSET (Cloud System Evolution in the Trades) project in netCDF format and cover the eastern Pacific Ocean region.
