I'm wondering which band is used to retrieve particle size (cloud effective radius) in CER_GEO_ED4_HIM08_NH_V01.2 (or SH), 2.3 or 3.9 μm? It uses SatCORPS algorithm from NASA Langley Research Center. Furthermore, are there any existing documents or literature mentioned the band so that I can refer to?

Thank you for your question.

Hello imnbakerstreet,

The particle size in the GEO dataset is from the 3.9 mm band.

As far as documentation, please look at the following webpages.

I hope this answers your question.
