Characterizing the radiation fields in the atmosphere using a cloud-aerosol-radiation product from integrated CERES, MODIS, CALIPSO and CloudSat data

CloudSat and CALIPSO cloud and aerosol information is convolved with CERES and MODIS cloud and radiation data to produce a merged 3-dimensional cloud and radiation dataset.
