Daytime Cloud Optical Depth for Himawari-8/9 (HIM_CLD_Day_OD)

<p>This product is part of the daytime cloud mask and properties collection, which was generated for daytime Himawari-8/9 imagery using the <a href="http://doi.org/10.3389/fenvs.2019.00020">Qin et al. (2019)</a> algorithm for the Australian continent and surrounding waters. The product is provided here in a regular latitude/longitude grid. It is also available in the original Himawari (geostationary) projection (WGS84, sub-satellite longitude = 140.7&deg;E and satellite altitude = 35785863 meters). Please contact the authors for accessing the data, which is located on the Australian National Computational Infrastructure (NCI). Currently, a near-real-time algorithm/processor is being developed to improve data availability, and to extend production to Himawari-10 (2028-2045).</p>
