VOCALS: Colocated CloudSat, AMSR-E, and SSM/I Liquid Water Path (LWP) Grids over the Southeast pacific

Summary

This dataset contains daily netCDF files of colocated measurements of liquid water path (LWP) data from the Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) on board the CloudSat, the Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer-EOS on board the Aqua satellite, and the Special Sensor Microwave Image (SSM/I) on board the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program satellites, compiled for 0.25 deg x 0.25 deg grids in the southeast Pacific region.
