SatCORPS CERES GEO Edition 4 MTSAT-2 Northern Hemisphere Version 1.2

CER_GEO_Ed4_MTS02_NH_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 Multi-functional Transport Satellite 2 (MTSAT-2) over the Northern Hemisphere (NH) Version 1.2 data product. Data was collected using the MTSAT-2 Imager on the MTSAT-2 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 MTSAT-2 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).
