TL;DR: The satellite-based visible snow cover extent (CDR) dataset as mentioned in this paper was developed from weekly Northern Hemisphere SNC data that have been digitized from snow cover maps onto a Cartesian grid draped over a polar stereographic projection.

TL;DR: The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) H-series climate data record (CDR) as mentioned in this paper is a suite of level 2 and 3 products for monitoring the distribution and variation of cloud and surface properties to better understand the effects of clouds on climate, the radiation budget, and the global hydrologic cycle.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose an approach that assumes a stationary climate, with several alternativations of the climate normals over a period of time, often 30 years.

TL;DR: In this paper, the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) is proposed to make the cloud-no-cloud threshold VZA dependent and the resulting cloud amounts are more consistent between different satellites and the distributions are more spatially homogenous.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors presented results for the newly (v2) reprocessed SNPP OMPS NM and NP SDR data prior to 30 June 2021, which uses consistent calibration tables with improved accuracy.
