Cloud parameter data source problem in CERES project

[xwgw]

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, the radiative flux value data of the surface and the top of the atmosphere provided by CERES is the cloud parameter information, atmospheric parameter, aerosol parameter and other data information obtained by the CERES project into the radiative transfer model Fu-Liou model of CERES, and then the corresponding radiative flux information of the top of the atmosphere and the surface is obtained? Finally, if the radiative flux information of the surface and the top of the atmosphere of the CERES project is combined with cloud parameter data and aerosol parameter data provided by modis, how does CERES combine modis cloud products? If you can give a definite answer, could you please give specific references?

Hello,

Please see the CERES Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document in regards to the Overview of Cloud Retrieval and Radiative Flux Inversion.
