International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project

International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) focuses on the distribution and variation of cloud radiative properties to improve the understanding of the effects of clouds on climate, the radiation budget, and the long-term global hydrologic cycle.

Note: Newly reprocessed ISCCP H series data products (HGM, HGH, HGG, HXG, HXS) for 1982-2015 are now available from NOAA/NCEI.
