description: This dataset provides a version of the Cloud_cci ATSR2-AATSRv3 monthly gridded dataset in Obs4MIPs format. The Cloud_cci ATSR2-AATSRv3 dataset (covering 1995-2012) was generated within the Cloud_cci project, which was funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of the ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI) programme (Contract No.: 4000109870/13/I-NB). This dataset is based on measurements taken by the Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR-2) on-board the European Remote Sensing Satellite -2 (ERS-2), and by the Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR) on-board the Environmental Satellite (Envisat). It contains a variety of cloud properties which were derived employing the Community Cloud retrieval for Climate (CC4CL) retrieval framework. This particular Obs4MIPS product has been generated for inclusion in Obs4MIPs (Observations for Model Intercomparisons Project), which is an activity to make observational products more accessible for climate model intercomparisons. Individual files are provided covering seven cloud variables:Cloud area fraction in atmospheric layer (clCCI);Atmospheric cloud ice content (clivi);Cloud area fraction (cltCCI);Liquid water cloud area fraction in atmospheric layer(clwCCI);Liquid water cloud area fraction (clwtCCI);Atmosphere mass content of cloud condensed water (clwvi);Air pressure at cloud top (pctCCI)
