Summary
Abstract: The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP), the
first project of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), was
established in 1982 (WMO-35 1982, Schiffer and Rossow 1983):

- To produce a global, reduced resolution, calibrated and normalized
radiance data set containing basic information on the properties of the
atmosphere from which cloud parameters can be derived.
