The cloud height product contains an image with pixel values identifying the geopotential height at the top of a cloud layer. Additionally, this product includes data quality information that provides an assessment of the cloud height values for on-earth pixels. The algorithm uses VIIRS infrared bands M14 (8.5µm), M15 (11.2µm), and M16 (12.3µm). The data are collected during day and night passes at a spatial resolution 750 meters. VIIRS cloud height data are distributed by the Comprehensive Large Array-Data Stewardship System (CLASS) as 86-second granules in the NetCDF-4 format with metadata attributes included. This data set provides a high quality Environmental Data Record (EDR) of Cloud Base Heights (CBH). As a high quality EDR, this data set could be used by the general aviation community for cloud ceiling and visibility determinations or as an environmental variable in 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://data.noaa.gov/docucomp/image/dee9ede1-43b9-40e8-8a6c-0ad22dd0ee7d Suomi NPP VIIRS NDE Cloud Top Height retrieval over the northern Atlantic Ocean on July 6, 2017.
