Cloud radiative kernels

This dataset provides both Zelinka CRKs and CERES FBCT CRKs in a consistent format. The Zelinka CRK is generated after interpolation in surface albedo space, where the surface albedo is derived from CERES EBAF data. The CERES CRKs are available in two types : a monthly climatology and a monthly time-varing version. The CRKs includes the following variables : cloud optical depth (COD), cloud top pressure (CTP), longitude, latitude, and monthly values. The CRKs are defined as the difference between clear-sky and overcast-sky radiative fluxes, divided by 100.CERES FBCT : CER_FluxByCldTyp-Month_Terra-Aqua-MODIS_Edition4A Zelinka CRK : Mark Zelinka.
