Numerical Model Generated Halifax Test Scenes for EarthCARE Pre-launch Studies - Part 1: Atmospheric and Surface Properties
This first part of the dataset contains the atmospheric and surface conditions of Halifax test scene (39316D) used for pre-launch studies of EarthCARE’s retrieval algorithms and data management system. The data are produced by Environment and Climate Change Canada's Global Environmental Multi-s...
