The dataset contains cloud and microphysical data retrievals based on observations from the A-train of satellites. Combined observations from CloudSat, CALIOP, and MODIS are used together with data from ECMWF and the liDAR-raDAR (DARDAR) cloud classification to simultaneously retrieve cloud, precipitation and aerosol properties. The dataset includes Particle Size Distribution (PSD) parameters for ice, rain and liquid, further microphysical parameters derived from these PSDs, and aerosol properties. The dataset contains data from 2007 and 2008. Files each include a single granule of retrievals and observations together with errors and metadata of retrieval quality.
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 1 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
