NOAA GOES-R Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 2 Cloud Cover Layers (CCL)

The GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Cloud Cover Layers (CCL) product contains estimates of cloud fraction between predefined atmospheric levels, as well as, the total cloud fraction at a specified spatial resolution. There are five flight levels of cloud fractions classified as low, middle, and high clouds. The 5 layers defined in feet are: surface to 5000, 5000 to 10000, 10000 to 18000, 18000 to 24000, and 24000 to top of the atmosphere. The horizontal spatial resolution of the products are 10km for full disk and CONUS, and 4km for mesoscale.
