GCOM-C/SGLI L2 Cloud flag Classification (250m)

GCOM-C/SGLI L2 Cloud Flag Classification (250m) dataset is obtained from the SGLI sensor onboard GCOM-C and produced by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). GCOM-C is a Sun-synchronous sub-recurrent orbit satellite launched on December 23, 2017. It mounts SGLI sensor to observe long-term geophysical conditions based on 28 variables, including aerosol and vegetation, out of four Earth subsystems: atmosphere, land, ocean, and cryosphere. These data are helpful to improve the global warming prediction accuracy. The SGLI has a swath of 1150 km in the visible band and 1400 km in the infrared band. Level 2 products consist of derived physical variables based on Level 1B products, such as meteorological data.The CLFG dataset includes Clear Confidence Level (0~1, 1 is clear), Cloud Inhomogeneity, phase, and the relevant information.The cloud/clear discrimination algorithm (CLAUDIA) and the cloud microphysical properties algorithm (CAPCOM) are utilized, and Nakajima et al. 2019 (https://doi.org/10.1186/s40645-019-0295-9 ) describe the methodologies in detail.The provided format is HDF5. The spatial resolution is 250m . The projection method is EQA. The spatial coverage is "Tile". The current version of the product is Version 3. The Version 2 is also available
