| description | Percentage of total 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 used by the ISCCP instrument simulator. This is the equivalent MODIS version of the ISCCP _clisccp _variable. |
