Year of Tropical Convection (YOTC)

A special data set produced for the Year of Tropical Convection (YOTC). Specifically, it contains convection and cloud related A-Train satellite values collocated to CloudSat footprints for the period May 2008 to April 2010. Products include quantities from Calipso, MLS, AIRS, AMSR-E, CERES, MODIS and a number of fields from the specialized YOTC analysis produced by ECMWF.
