Corrections for Geostationary Cloud Liquid Water Path Using Microwave Imagery

Netcdf files containing a set of correctional factors for GOES-16 and GOES-17 cloud liquid-water path (LWP). The correctional factors for both satellites are fractional corrections of microwave imager LWP divided by GOES-16/17 LWP at a given solar zenith, GOES sensor zenith, relative azimuth (solar - sensor zenith), and low-cloud fraction. Uncorrected GOES-16/17 LWP is derived from GOES retrieved cloud-optical thickness and cloud-top effective radius, and it is multiplied by the corresponding correctional factor (i.e. the bins which the uncorrected values are in).本数据集以NetCDF文件形式收录了针对GOES-16与GOES-17云液水路径（cloud liquid-water path, LWP）的一系列校正因子。 两颗卫星对应的校正因子，为给定太阳天顶角、GOES传感器天顶角、相对方位角（太阳与传感器天顶角的差值）以及低云量条件下，微波成像仪反演的LWP与GOES-16/17原始LWP的比值校正量。 未校正的GOES-16/17 LWP由GOES反演得到的云光学厚度与云顶有效半径推导得出，将其与未校正值所属分箱对应的校正因子相乘，即可完成云液水路径的校正。
