ISCCP central archive catalog of data and products [electronic resource] / by Kidwell, Katherine B.(CARDINAL)308362; Poltar, Daniel R.; International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project.(CARDINAL)308326; National Climatic Data Center (U.S.)(CARDINAL)169937;
ISCCP, designed to produce a 5 year global cloud climatology database by an international array of geostationary and polar orbiting meteorological satellites, has been extended twice to a collection period of 17 years. It provides reduced resolution, infrared or visible, calibrated or normalized, radiance data from which cloud parameters can be derived; coordinates such techniques; and promotes research to improve understanding of earth's radiation budget and hydrological cycle.Systems requirements: ISO-9660 format CD-ROM designed for use with any WWW browser that meets HTML v3.2 draft specifications. [For those who lack such a browser or Internet access, FAICO Information Solutions' NavRoad offline HTML browser is added to disc.].
