2000-present data from the MODIS/Terra satellite provides cloud optical and physical parameters at 1km and 5km spatial resolution. Each file covers a five-minute swath, with parameters derived from infrared, visible, and near-infrared solar reflected radiances. This NASA-produced dataset supports the investigation of seasonal and inter-annual changes in global cloud cover and phase.
License is specified as 'other-license-specified' on Data.gov; users must verify terms. Data is provided in swath format (5-minute intervals) and requires geospatial processing for analysis.
