| description | Percentage ice-cloud cover in optical depth categories, as seen by the MODIS instrument simulator. Dimensions of tau (optical depth) and cloud-top pressure are the same as used by clisccp output from the ISCCP satellite simulator. |
| dimensions | longitude, latitude, plev7c, tau, time |
| disambiguation | South30 |
| extra_dimensions | tau |
| modelling_realm | Atmospheric |
| name | atmos.clmodisice.tavg-p7c-hxy-air.mon.30S-90S |
| physical_parameter | clmodisice (MODIS Ice-Topped Cloud Area Percentage) |
| primary_modelling_realm | Atmospheric |
| processing_note | 7 pressure levels x 7 optical depth levels. This is a regional subset of the variable. If you are producing the global equivalent of CFmon.clmodisiceSouth30, you should omit this regional South30 version. If the global equivalent of this variable is not in the Data Request, you can still produce that instead of the regional variable if you prefer, and you will be able to publish it. |
| region | 30S-90S |
| spatial_shape | XY-P7 (Global field (7 pressure levels)) |
| temporal_shape | time-intv (Temporal Interval) |
