CAESAR: Cloud Product Retrievals from Satellite

Summary

3km resolution cloud property data and imagery derived from Terra/Aqua MODIS, GOES-16 ABI, Meteosat-10 SEVIRI, and NOAA-20 VIIRS satellite observations for the CAESAR (Cold Air Outbreak Experiment in the Sub-Arctic Region) campaign region. Products include cloud phase, optical depth, particle size, water path, base/top height/pressure/temperature and longwave flux.
