| 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. |
| region | 30S-90S |
| spatial_shape | XY-P7 (Global field (7 pressure levels)) |
| temporal_shape | time-intv (Temporal Interval) |
| title | MODIS Ice Topped Cloud Area Percentage |
