In MODIS L3 COSP, the cloud fractions are aggregated at different pressure levels, there is no layer overlap: Cloud_Mask_Fraction: (all pressure levels: total column) Cloud_Mask_Fraction_Low: (CTP >= 680 hpa) Cloud_Mask_Fraction_Mid: (440 hpa <= CTP < 680 hpa) Cloud_Mask_Fraction_High: (CTP < 440 hp...

Thanks very much Tyler.

Tyler, We reviewed the keywords and both looks fine. However, one of the eMAS project member provided following feedback (for Instrument Keyword: eMAS ): "..., the “eMAS” keyword link text is indeed from the eMAS home webpage, but includes only the first paragraph of text from the “Overview” se...

Yes, this is a correct way.
The logic is to find the pixels with valid cloud fraction values for both Cloud_Mask_Fraction_Low and Cloud_Retrieval_Fraction_Liquid, then for these pixels you can use either Cloud_Retrieval_Fraction_Liquid or Cloud_Mask_Fraction_Low.

Tyler,
Thanks very much for the quick action. I review these and will get back to you asap.

Below is a response from our SME: Cloud Mask Fraction Low: it is based on cloud top pressure (CTP >= 680hpa) for daytime (SZA <= 85 deg). The daytime cutoff is less strict than cloud optical properties (SZA <= 81.3731 deg), so the data extends a bit farther poleward. It may include liquid, ice, or u...
