ISCCP CATALOG OF DATA AND PRODUCTS

Introduction Page

The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) Catalog of Data and Products (September 1998) is a document that describes the data, products and supporting information that are available to users from the ISCCP Central Archive (ICA) and procedures for ordering data and products. Updates to this catalog will be issued on a yearly basis (or as deemed necessary by the ISCCP Project Manager). The ISCCP Catalog is available in WordPerfect 6.1 (ftp2.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/doc/isccp/wp6) and Postscript (ftp2.ncdc.noaa.gov/pub/doc/isccp/ps) formats for downloading through ftp.
