Sep 15, 2025 · The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) provides data on various aspects of cloud variables like cloud amount, optical thickness, and cloud top temperature. The data, …

Clouds affect the climate but changes in the climate, in turn, affect the clouds. This relationship creates a complicated system of climate feedbacks, in which clouds modulate Earth's radiation and water …

The results are studied to understand clouds in the climate, including their effects on radiative energy exchanges and their role in the global water cycle. These datasets provide a systematic view of …

Dec 11, 2025 · The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) makes use of routine observations by operational weather satellites to provide a long-term (1983-2009), gridded, global …

The cloud averages presented on these maps come from our digital archive of gridded land and ocean cloud climatological data which, along with the documentation, are available (Hahn and Warren …

The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) focuses on the distribution and variation of cloud radiative properties to improve the understanding of the effects of clouds on climate, the …

Today, ISCCP is the longest-running international satellite-based global environmental data project. It delivers a record spanning over 25 years of global cloud and surface radiative properties obtained …

We provide the climatology of cloud particle sizes and revised optical thickness values here. A value of cloud top pressure and optical thickness is obtained for each cloudy pixel during the daytime. This …

The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) pioneered the development of multi-decadal cloud climate records (1983-present) from the operational meteorological geostationary …

NCEI is the central archive for the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP), which began collecting data in July of 1983. Since then, the project has expanded to incorporate data from …
