This data set contains retrievals from Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding on Envisat (MIPAS-ENVISAT) cloud and aerosol and contains information on derived cloud-top height (km), cloud-top temperature (K), cloud extinction (cm-1), with uncertainties. It also includes the measured radiance in the three cloud microwindow bands (832.0-834.4 cm-1, 1232.3-1234.4 cm-1, 1973.0-1983.0 cm-1), with noise equivalent spectral radiance values. Cloud index values are also included which can be used to distinguish different clouds types based on the index value.

Global and regional composite (Level 3) products of the MEdium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) Level 2 geophysical data are generated by the UK Multi-Mission Product Archive Facility (UK-MM-PAF)/Infoterra Ltd (Part of Astrium GEO-Information Services). One of these products: MERIS Terrestrial Chlorophyll Index (MTCI) data are available from NEODC. The products are in GEOTIFF format, on latitude-longitude geocoded grids, and are accompanied by an XML-metadata file and a JPEG browse image.
