We notice that the spatial resolution of CER_GEO_ED4_HIM08 product is

The observations are at 4 km resolution (at nadir) and are sub-sampled to 8 km.

We want to know why do you sub-sample the data? Why is it different at different hemisphere?

The documentation of CERES_SYN1deg_Ed4A mentioned that The SYN1deg Ed4A should not be used to infer longterm trends of clouds or fluxes and are not of climate quality. Users should be aware that whenever a GEO ___domain is crossed, whether in time or space, a slight change in mean cloud property values...

The SME response is as follows: The problem you are seeing with overly large effective radius (both water and ice) is an issue with the software that was used to process the data. The MET10 V01.2 available in 2023 and 2024 do not have this issue. We are sorry for any inconvenience this issue is cau...

We found that the effective radius (liquid phase) in the CERES GEO products, especially datasets of Meteosat-10 (SatCORPS CERES GEO Edition 4 Meteosat-10 Northern/Southern Hemisphere Version 1.0) are unusually high compared to other Meteosats. We would like to know whether this discrepancy is due to...

Sorry for bothering you, but there's no response to my latest post. We notice that the SatCORPS geostationary products are generated as instantaneous data at hourly intervals, whereas the original temporal resolution of geostationary satellites is higher. Why do you choose the hourly interval? Is th...

We notice that the SatCORPS geostationary products are generated as instantaneous data at hourly intervals, whereas the original temporal resolution of geostationary satellites is higher. Why do you choose the hourly interval? Is there any access to data with a higher temporal resolution?

Sorry for bothering you again. But what do you mean "requires that all five geostationary satellite have the same version"? Specifically, for example, the time coverage of SatCORPS GOES13 is from 2008 to 2017, but changed to version 1.2 in 2015. If I want to analyze all the data of GOES13,...

What's the difference of version 1.0 and version 1.2 in some satellites of the CERES GEO dataset? Such as GOES-15 and GOES-13.

I also notice that the version always changes in 2015 and there are some overlapping periods in two versions. Which version shoud be used in the overlapping periods?
