NJIAS Himawari-8/9 Cloud Feature Dataset (HCFD)–0.04Deg. Part II: 2018–2019

The NJIAS HCFD–0.04Deg provides a comprehensive description of cloud features over the west North Pacific regions spanning 10°N–50°N and 90°E–170°W. It includes 26 variables, such as cloud mask, type, top height, optical thickness, and particle effective radius, as well as snow and dust masks, which were generated from the visible and infrared measurements of the Advanced Himawari Imager onboard the Japanese geostationary satellites Himawari-8/9, based on a series of cloud retrieval algorithms developed by Dr. Zhuge. As the second part of NJIAS HCFD–0.04Deg, this dataset covers the period from January 2018 to December 2019, with a temporal resolution of 30 min and a spatial resolution of 0.04°. The data are now distributed under CC BY 4.0 license.
