Abstract:
[Source:CloudSat Standard Data Products Handbook, Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere, Colorado State University]
This product is built from ECMWF global data that are provided to the DPC via ftp transfer, four times per day. The ECMWF-AUX data set is an intermediate product that contains ECMWF state variable data interpolated to each CloudSat vetical bin. These data are required for input to the 2B-GEOPROF, 2B-CLDCLASS, 2B-TAU, and 2B-FLXHR algorithms.

Access Constraints
Most of the CloudSat data and products will be made available to the CloudSat Science Team and other authorized users in the general science community, via a web-based data server during the on-orbit phase, and all CloudSat products will be sent to the Langley DAAC after the end of the operational phase.
Use Constraints
Always cite the data originator if you use this data.
