This dataset contains a high quality operational Environmental Data Record (EDR) of cloud type and phase from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument onboard the Suomi-NPP satellite and is produced by the NOAA Satellite and Information Service (NESDIS). The EDR contains cloud type and phase information (liquid water, supercooled water, mixed phase, optically thin ice, optically thick ice, and multilayered ice) for each cloudy pixel. Additionally, this product includes data quality information that provides an assessment of the cloud phase values for on-earth pixels. The algorithm uses VIIRS infrared bands M14 (8.5µm), M15 (11.2µm), and M16 (12.3µm). The spatial resolution of the EDR is 750 meters and data are collected during day and night passes which provides global coverage at a temporal resolution of approximately every 12 hours. VIIRS cloud phase data distributed by the NESDIS Data Exploitation (NDE) system and obtained from the Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS) are distributed in single 86-second granules in NetCDF-4 format with metadata attributes included.
This EDR is used downstream for other cloud algorithms (cloud height and optical properties) and could be used for the following applications: aircraft icing, precipitation type, and cloud microphysical studies.

Data Stewardship Maturity Assessment
MM-Stew
The Data Stewardship Maturity Matrix (DSMM) is a unified framework that defines criteria for each of nine components based on measurable practices, which can be used to apply a progressive, 6-level rating to an individual dataset, representing stewardship maturity stages rated as Not Assessed or Not Available (Level 0), adHoc (Level 1), minimum (Level 2), intermediate (Level 3), advanced (Level 4), and optimal (Level 5).
Data Stewardship Maturity Assessment was evaluated by the metadata content editor for the NOAA OneStop project using the Scientific Data Stewardship Maturity Assessment Model Template v4.0.
