Multisensor Advanced Climatology of Liquid Water Path (MAC-LWP) Dataset

Alternative title(s)

638.050

Abstract

Oceanic satellite passive microwave-derived cloud and total liquid water path estimates placed on a 0.25deg spatial grid during the CAESAR period. Satellite sources include both near-polar sun-synchronous and non-sun synchronous platforms (i.e. DMSP, Aqua, GCOM-W1, Coriolis, TRMM, and GPM.
