ISCCP D1 Cloud Microphysics

Selected variables that supplement the cloud properties in the ISCCP-D1 monthly mean datasets are available currently for certain months in 1986 and 1987 (but will eventually be available for the whole period July 1983 through December 2000). A discussion of cloud microphysics is available. In this version, the results for January, April, July, and October are taken to represent the four seasons; other months are represented by linear interpolations. Your selections may be viewed as GIF images, or downloaded to your local disk. If you are downloading data, see the browse data format description and sample FORTRAN read subroutines. These subroutines are NOT the same as the D2READ program used for the full D2 dataset.

Note: These monthly mean files are also available from the ISCCP download site in the directory /pub/data/microphysics/.
