This page lists the Cloudnet products available for general release
and links to the detailed product pages. Note that for access to
single-instrument datasets (level 1b and earlier) you will need to
contact the maintainer of the site archive concerned.
Level 1b
Refined retrieval of liquid water path using liquid cloud
height/occurrence information from lidar and coefficients from
forecast model:
Single-site forecast model data converted to NetCDF:
Level 1c
Combined cloud radar, lidar microwave radiometer, rain gauge and
model data with regridding, correction for attenuation, reporting of
measurement errors, data quality flags and categorization of targets:
Level 2a
General products (not specific to one cloud type):
Liquid cloud products:
Ice cloud products. Note that the radar-lidar methods are only possible
in clouds with both a good radar and lidar signal, which is a smaller
fraction of clouds than those for which the radar/temperature method
may be applied. However, the radar-lidar methods provide more
properties and are expected to be more accurate.
Level 2b
Observed cloud fraction (derived from the target categorization
dataset) on the grids of the various models:
Observed water content on the grids of the various models:
Level 3
Monthly and yearly cloud fraction statistics and skill scores for each
model:
Monthly and yearly ice water content statistics and skill scores
for each model:
Monthly and yearly liquid water content statistics and skill scores
for each model:
