CIPS Level 1A Data

Calibrated and geolocated albedo images for each camera.

cips_level1a.pdf

CIPS Level 1B Data

Map-projected albedo for each orbit at 25 km2 resolution. All measurements of a single location are registered into data “stacks".

cips_data_overview.pdf

CIPS Level 2 Data

Geolocation and cloud parameters – albedo, particle radius, ice water content, phase function -- for each orbit at 25 km2 resolution.

cips_level2.pdf

CIPS Level 3A Data

Daily cloud albedo maps, produced by merging all level 2 orbit images on a given day.

cips_level3a.pdf

CIPS Level 3C Data

Level 2 data (cloud albedo, particle size, ice water content and frequency, and ancillary data) averaged in 1-degree latitude bins for an entire season..

cips_level3c.pdf

CIPS Level 3D Data

Subset of Level 2 data for all pixels in the AIM Common Volume region for each orbit. One file per PMC season (2007 to 2009 only).

cips_level3d.pdf

CIPS Level 3E Data

Subset of Level 2 cloud parameters and ancillary data coincident with selected ground station locations (22 stations total). One file per PMC season.
