Global satellite data from the NOAA-20 spacecraft provides daily cloud mask, cloud top, and cloud optical retrieval information on a 1x1 degree grid. The dataset contains 32 aggregated science parameters designed for direct comparison with climate model output via the CFMIP Observation Simulator Package (COSP). Data collection began on February 17, 2018, and includes 365 daily files per calendar year.
Data is provided in netCDF4 format. Users must consult the separate CLDPROPCOSP User Guide for details on statistical computation, gridding protocols, and parameter definitions.
