Source of cloud parameter data in CERES project: I have 3 questions about cloud parameter data and radiation flux data in CERES project, which need to be correctly interpreted. First, in the CERES project, does the cloud parameter information come from modis on the same satellite platform? Secondly,...

Questions about cloud product information in CERES Is the CERES Single Footprint satellite product SSF cloud product data information derived from MODIS cloud products? Then, CERES uses the cloud product data and aerosol data information provided by modis to input into the fu-liou model used in CERE...

I would like to ask the following questions about the cloud product information provided on the CERES website. First of all, the cloud attribute information provided in CERES, such as cloud height, cloud optical thickness, cloud droplet particle radius and other information, is provided from modis o...

Hello, I still have some questions to ask you, that is, in the cloud parameter information, how to choose and define the optical thickness of the cloud and the effective radius of the cloud droplet particles, because SSF in the single footprint satellite product provides the logarithmic visible opti...

Help Post: I would like to know the product information of the radiative flux of the surface and the top of the atmosphere provided by the CERES Cloud and Radiation Observation system. First of all, how is the long-wave radiative flux defined and how is it calculated, because the short-wave waveleng...

Hello, sorry to bother you again. I have another question to ask you, that is, for the short wave, long wave and surface and top atmosphere radiation flux information provided by CERES. For short wave, I know that the wavelength range of short wave is 0.2-5 microns, and the window channel is 8-12 mi...

Hello, thank you for your help. But I'm a little confused, because I think we need to estimate the surface radiation budget. But it is much more complex than estimating TOA because it requires a radiative transport model and satellite-derived cloud and aerosol properties as well as atmospheric state...

Help post: Single footprint satellite product problem in CERES What is the cloud size of SSF in the single footprint satellite product of CERES, cloud_fraction (PS: there is a PSF-wtd MOD04 cloud fraction land in its product)? Because there are two cloud products in the grid product of the single f...

Help: Cloud parameter problem in CERES single footprint data In CERES 'satellite product SSF, different bands of cloud droplet water particle radius and ice water particle radius (3 different bands of 1.2, 2.1 and 3.7 microns) are provided, but the liquid water path and ice water path are 3.7 micro...

CERES Level 2 product SSF, how is this instantaneous footprint information defined, is it consistent with the transit time of the satellite, for example, how many times the satellite has passed through a certain area, how many footprint information, is that right? Because I downloaded the instantane...
