abstract: This dataset contains a high quality Environmental Data Record (EDR) of Cloud Cover Layers (CCL) from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument onboard the Suomi-NPP satellite and is produced by the NOAA Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS). The CCL EDR is a cloud product derived from several other Retained Intermediate Products (RIPs) including, Cloud Optical Properties (COP), Cloud Top Parameters (CTP), Perform Parallax Correction (PPC), and Cloud Base Height (CBH). Cloud cover is the fraction of a given area on the Earth's surface where a line segment extending between two altitudes intersects a cloud. CCL also includes a binary map (cloudy/not cloudy) that highlights cells that contain clouds. The RIPs are 750 meter spatial resolution products and the output EDRs are gridded to 6 km resolution. Global coverage is generated approximately every 12 hours. By default, IDPS VIIRS CCL data obtained from the Comprehensive Large-Array Stewardship System (CLASS) are distributed in four aggregated 86-second granules in Hierarchical Data Format v.5 (HDF5) with metadata attributes included.
purpose: The VIIRS CCL EDR is used extensively in numerical weather and climate prediction models. CCL could also be useful to the general aviation community.
