We extended the MODIS TERRA and AQUA atmospheric property data sets: temperature profiles, water vapor, precipitable water, various cloud properties such as cloud fraction, cloud top pressure, etc. These global level-3 data sets are extracted from MOD08_D3 and MYD08_D3 data sets and come with 1 degree x 1 degree grid resolution and daily temporal resolution. All these data sets cover the period March 2000 through January 2023 (TERRA) and July 2002 through January 2023 (AQUA). For further information we refer to the respective web pages
