Corrections for Geostationary Cloud Liquid Water Path Using Microwave Imagery

<p>Netcdf files containing a set of correctional factors for GOES-16 and GOES-17 cloud liquid-water path (LWP). The correctional factors for both satellites are fractional corrections of microwave imager LWP&nbsp;divided by GOES-16/17 LWP at a given solar zenith, GOES sensor zenith, relative azimuth (solar - sensor zenith), and low-cloud fraction.</p> <p>Uncorrected GOES-16/17 LWP is derived from GOES retrieved cloud-optical thickness and cloud-top effective radius, and it is multiplied by the corresponding correctional factor (i.e. the bins which the uncorrected values are in).</p>
