SatCORPS CERES GEO Edition 4 GOES-16 Southern Hemisphere Version 1.2

CER_GEO_Ed4_GOE16_SH_V01.2 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 16 (GOES-16) over the Southern Hemisphere (SH) Version 1.2 data product. Data was collected using the Advanced Baseline Imager on the GOES-16 Platform.

Note: Version 1.2 is identical to version 1.0. No changes have been made to the retrieval algorithm.

This data set comprises cloud micro-physical and radiation properties derived hourly from GOES-16 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 2 km resolution (at nadir) and are sub-sampled to 6 km (taking every third line and pixel).
