Abstract: 

The Edition 2 (Ed2) cloud property retrieval Index Terms— Climate, cloud, cloud height, cloud particle size, algorithm system was upgraded and applied to the MODerate- cloud phase, cloud optical depth (COD), cloud remote sensing resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) data for the MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) clouds and the Earth’s radiant energy system (CERES),
