The EDR contains Cloud Optical Depth (COD), Cloud effective Particle Size (CPS), and Liquid and Ice Water Path (LWP and IWP). Liquid and ice water path are calculated subsequently from COD and CPS. The NCOMP algorithm uses VIIRS bands M7, M15, and M16. The EDR provides global coverage daily at a spatial resolution of 750 meters at nadir. VIIRS NCOMP data distributed by the NESDIS Data Exploitation (NDE) system and obtained from the Comprehensive Large-Array Stewardship System (CLASS) are distributed as single 86-second granules in NetCDF-4 format with metadata attributes included. The VIIRS NCOMP product is used to parameterize clouds in global climate models. Precise retrievals are critical to improving climate models. onGoing DOC/NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI > National Centers for Environmental Information, NESDIS, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce Customer Engagement Branch 1-828-271-4800 1-828-271-4876 151 Patton Avenue Veach-Baley Federal Building, Room 468 Asheville NC 28801-5001 USA ncei.orders@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov HTTPS Web Browser NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) NCEI home page with information, data access and contact information. information 8:00 - 6:00 Eastern pointOfContact continual https://www1.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/data/metadata/images/C01444.png Example of VIIRS Cloud Optical Depth (Cloud Microphysical and Optical Properties) over the Northern Atlantic Ocean on July 7, 2017.
