Cloud Product Retrievals from Satellite
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/638.043

Summary
Preliminary 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.
