SatCORPS CERES GEO Edition 4 MTSAT-2 Northern Hemisphere Version 1.2

CER_GEO_Ed4_MTS02_NH_V01.2 is the Satellite Cloud and Radiation Property retrieval System (SatCORPS) Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Geostationary Satellite (GEO) Edition 4 Multi-functional Transport Satellite 2 (MTSAT-2) over the Northern Hemisphere (NH) Version 1.2 data product. Data was collected using the MTSAT-2 Imager on the MTSAT-2 Platform.

Note: Version 1.2 is identical to version 1.0. No changes have been made to the retrieval algorithm.

This data set comprises cloud micro-physical and radiation properties derived hourly from MTSAT-2 geostationary satellite imager data using the Langley Research Center (LaRC) SATCORPS algorithms supporting the CERES project. The data set is arranged as files for each hour in netCDF-4 format. The observations are at 4 km resolution (at nadir) and are sub-sampled to 8 km (taking every other line and pixel).

CER_GEO_Ed4_MTS02_NH_V01.2 为地球辐射能系统（Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System，缩写CERES）项目配套的卫星云与辐射特性反演系统（Satellite Cloud and Radiation Property retrieval System，缩写SatCORPS）数据集，具体为基于多功能运输卫星2号（Multi-functional Transport Satellite 2，缩写MTSAT-2）在北半球（Northern Hemisphere，缩写NH）获取的静止卫星（Geostationary Satellite，缩写GEO）第4版数据产品，版本号1.2。数据由搭载于MTSAT-2平台的MTSAT-2成像仪采集获取。

备注：版本1.2与版本1.0完全一致，反演算法未做任何调整。

本数据集包含由支持CERES项目的兰利研究中心（Langley Research Center，缩写LaRC）的SatCORPS算法，从MTSAT-2静止卫星成像仪数据中每小时反演得到的云微物理特性与辐射特性。数据集按小时归档为netCDF-4格式文件。观测数据的星下点分辨率为4千米，并被下采样至8千米（即每隔一行与一个像素进行采样）。
