Abstract

Satellite measurements play crucial roles in the construction of global observation datasets of clouds and precipitation. Many of such datasets are open to public, but there are so many choices it is hard to decide which one best suits your needs. This chapter is meant to be a concise guidance for those in need of a little assistance. It is not attempted in this chapter to present a complete list of satellite-based cloud/precipitation products, since otherwise the reader would be inundated with excessive information. Instead, we will put focus on a limited number of datasets that are widely used in the science and commercial/industrial sectors. Following an introduction to the data processing levels, selected data products are summarized without going too much into technical details.

Fußnoten
1
Similar terms such as cloudiness, cloud cover, and cloud fraction are used interchangeably with cloud amount in most (although not all) cases.
 
2
The TMPA (TRMM 3B42) product (Huffman et al. 2007) now has been replaced by IMERG.
