FIDUCEO project: Metrological assessment of consistency, stability and uncertainty of FIDUCEO FCDRs
No full textThis report addresses the assessment of the Fundamental Climate Data Records (FCDRs) using the methodologies developed under WP2 for mutual and relative consistency and stability (trend artefacts and step changes) both within and across sensor-series. Where possible the FCDR uncertainty information will be validated. Each sensor team has found it necessary to assess stability in different ways, because of the different context of different sensor series

NCAS CDAO Sky-Camera Time-Lapse Video for 2007-10-04 05:30 UTC (showing Cumulus mediocris clouds).
No full textA time-lapse video showing Cumulus mediocris clouds (with occasional Cirrus clouds and contrails at a higher level). The Cumulus clouds are in a continuous state of change. Many can be seen to form and/or to evaporate within the field of view. The evaporating clouds give rise to ragged Cumulus fractus formations. This video has been created from images taken by the Sky-Camera at the National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) Capel Dewi Atmospheric Observatory (CDAO) near Aberystwyth, UK - formerly known as the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) Mesosphere-Stratosphere-Troposphere (MST) Radar Facility.

NCAS CDAO Sky-Camera Time-Lapse Video for 2007-09-04 17:50 UTC (showing Stratocumulus clouds that develop wave-like asperitas features).
No full textA time-lapse video showing Stratocumulus clouds that develop wave-like asperitas features. During the early part of the sequence, there appear to be layers of cloud at two distinct levels. These are lit differently by the setting sun. The asperitas features begin to appear approximately half way through the sequence. Altocumulus undulatus clouds can be seen towards the end.

EUSTACE Product User Guide and quick start guide, version 1.0
No full textThis Product User Guide (PUG) is meant as a practical guide for the data products of the EUSTACE (EU Surface Temperature for All Corners of Earth) project and to facilitate (potential) users in their exploitation of the EUSTACE datasets
FIDUCEO project: Product User Guide – Ensemble Sea and Lake Surface Temperature
No full textThis document describes the Ensemble Sea and Lake Surface Temperature(ST) climate data record (CDR) created by the FIDUCEO project in August 2019 with version designation v0.20. The released data record is based on the MetOp-A Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR)“easy” FCDR (fundamentalCDR) version 1.0, with additional ST optimisation of the brightness temperature calibration coefficients. The ST CDR is a gridded dataset (level 3 uncollated) at 0.05°latitude-longitude resolution. This product user guide gives: 1. An overview of the specifications of the ST CDR; 2. A high-level description of the implementation of the retrieval processing chain; 3. Information on limitations of this current version of the data record; 4. Technical details on the format and on how to access the dat
FIDUCEO project: Report on MVIRIAerosol demonstration dataset
No full textThis document forms the deliverable D5.8 to report on the climate data record (CDR) of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) as retrieved from the MVIRI fundamental climate data record (FCDR) [RD 1, RD 2, RD 3] using the Combined Inversion of Surface and AeRosol (CISAR) Algorithm[RD 4]. The primary objective of this data record is to assess and demonstrate how the recalibrated and uncertainty-quantified MVIRIFCDR can support improved retrieval of geophysical parameters. Of particular interest is the impact of in-flight reconstructed and spectrally degrading spectral response functions
