| 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. |
| dimensions | longitude, latitude, plev7c, tau, time |
| disambiguation | South30 |
| extra_dimensions | tau |
| modelling_realm | Atmospheric |
| name | atmos.clmodis.tavg-p7c-hxy-air.mon.30S-90S |
| physical_parameter | clmodis (MODIS Cloud Area Percentage) |
| primary_modelling_realm | Atmospheric |
| processing_note | 7 pressure levels x 7 optical depth levels (x latitude x longitude x time). This is a regional subset of the variable. If you are producing the global equivalent of CFmon.clmodisSouth30, 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) |
