Hello, At appears that Earthdata Search is having issues and we are not clear why but this may be the reason why you cannot retrieve your data. We'll update you with any new information. Also as an alternative the ASDC offers Subsetting Tools for CALIPSO and CERES . We apologize for the inconvenienc...

Hello, Thank you for your interest in CALIPSO data. Here is a description of the AVD flag, which is numerically the feature classification flags: https://www-calipso.larc.nasa.gov/resources/calipso_users_guide/data_desc/cal_lid_l2_profile_v4-51_desc.php#atmospheric_volume_description So if you can d...

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in CALIPSO data.

We have contacted a member of the CALIPSO Science team and they will be able answer your question. Thanks.

Hello, In regards to your questions: Does every cloud pixel mean cloudy condition? Are there variables directly or indirectly offer cloud fraction information? Yes. CERES algorithms identify the full pixel as cloudy or clear. No partial pixel retrieval is done. what does the variable 'visible raw-co...

Hello, Thank you for your interest in CERES. The GEO products, regardless of geostationary satellite, do not have multi-layer clouds in them. They are pixel-level products. Each pixel either has a cloud or does not. If there is a cloud, then the cloud properties are given. Regards, ASDC User Services

Hello vasu_007 , Have you considered level 3 data (averaged global gridded products) instead of level 2? Using level 3 will be a lot easier for you to work with. If you decide to use open_mfdataset, you may consider using the group= and/or the combine='nested' keyword arguments. Also, if you decide ...

Hello @vasu_007,

Thank you for your interest in MISR data.

We will look in to this and get back to you soon. Also, could you give the name of the Level 2 MISR collection that you are using for this? Thank you.
