CER_FluxByCldTyp-Day_NOAA20-VIIRS_Edition1C is the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Monthly Daytime Mean Regionally Averaged NOAA-20 Top-of-Atmosphere (TOA) Fluxes and Associated Cloud Properties Stratified by Optical Depth and Effective Pressure Edition 1C data product.
Description
Data was collected using CERES Flight Model 6 (FM6) and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on NOAA-20 Data collection for this product is ongoing.
CER_FluxByCldTyp-Day_NOAA20-VIIRS_Edition1C provides the monthly mean daytime CERES fluxes and CERES-VIIRS cloud properties that have been spatially gridded into 1° regions along both the NOAA-20 ground tracks where the TOA fluxes and cloud properties have been stratified by six cloud optical depth bins and seven cloud effective pressure layers. The CERES FluxByCldTyp-Day Edition1C product uses Single Scanner Footprint (SSF) Edition1C footprint data as input.

Within each footprint, all 1-km pixel-level VIIRS-retrieved cloud properties are stratified into three possible sub-footprint components: two cloud layers and a clear portion. For each sub-footprint component, the VIIRS channel radiances are converted to broadband (BB) radiances. The CERES angular directional models are then applied to obtain BB fluxes.
Each of the CERES sub-footprint cloud layers and associated fluxes are assigned to one of the 42 cloud types, similarly to the stratification process in the CldTypHist product. FluxByCloudTyp is an hourly instantaneous gridded daytime-only product with a global extent. Each netCDF4 file covers a month.
CERES is a key component of the Earth Observing System (EOS) program. The CERES instruments provide radiometric measurements of the Earth's atmosphere from three broadband channels. The CERES missions are a follow-on to the successful Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) mission.
The newest CERES instrument (FM6) was launched onboard the Joint Polar-Orbiting Satellite System 1 (JPSS-1) satellite, now called NOAA-20, on November 18, 2017.
