Hello,
I am working with MODIS Aqua Level 2 cloud products (MYD06_L2) where I need cloud effective radius (CER) observed at 2.1 micrometer. I found the CER at 1.6 um ( e.g., Cloud_Effective_Radius_16) and CER at 3.7 um ( e.g., Cloud_Effective_Radius_37) but not at 2.1 micrometer in the file specification and documentation regarding microphysical products.
Please provide the solution that which SDS product corresponds to CER at 2.1 micrometer.

Re: Cloud Effective Radius in MYD06_L2
The SDS "Cloud_Effective_Radius_1621" is "Cloud Particle Effective Radius two-channel retrieval using band 7(2.1um) and band 6(1.6um)from best points". For more information see:

Re: Cloud Effective Radius in MYD06_L2
The SDS's "Cloud_Effective_Radius" and "Cloud_Optical"Thickness" are 2.1 micron retrievals.
