GOES-13 Satellite Cloud Products Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/545.005

Summary
This dataset contains NASA Langley Satellite Cloud products from the High Ice
Water Content (HIWC) Radar Study project that took place in Fort Lauderdale,
Florida. These data are derived from the GOES-13 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.
