| 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. 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) |
| title | MODIS Cloud Area Percentage |
