SatCORPS CERES GEO Edition 4 GOES-15 Southern Hemisphere Version 1.4

CER_GEO_Ed4_GOE15_SH_V01.4 is the Satellite Cloud and Radiation Property retrieval System (SatCORPS) Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Geostationary Satellite (GEO) Edition 4 Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite 15 (GOES-15) over the Southern Hemisphere (SH) Version 1.4 data product. Data was collected using the GOES-15 Imager on the GOES-15 Platform. Note: Version 1.4 uses the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications, Version 2 (MERRA-2) reanalysis for atmospheric input; Version 1.2 used GMAO's GEOS-5.4.1. No changes have been made to the cloud retrieval algorithm. This data set comprises cloud micro-physical and radiation properties derived hourly from GOES-15 geostationary satellite imager data using the Langley Research Center (LaRC) SATCORPS algorithms supporting the CERES project. The data set is arranged as files for each hour in netCDF-4 format. The observations are at 4 km resolution (at nadir) and are sub-sampled to 8 km (taking every other line and pixel).
