ARC-MIP: ISCCP Cloud and Radiative Flux in 50km ARCMIP-EASE Grid

Summary

The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) Cloud and Radiative Flux dataset is a subset of the ISCCP FDX-P2 Sheba Flux Data regridded into a 50km Equal-Area Scalable Earth Grid (EASE-Grid). It contains surface and top-of-atmosphere radiative fluxes and the important physical quantities used to calculate them.
