Colocated CloudSat, AMSR-E, and SSM/I Liquid Water Path (LWP) Grids over the
Southeast pacific
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/89.170

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.
