Good day,
I downloaded some of the monthly data from
I just have some questions about the data... I'm interested in the ff data, and I want to verify if
1) after I open the data I just multiply it by 0.1 and then add 50? Then also
2) it says the fill value is 32767, but when I look at at data in matlab there are these values -7.45058059692383e-07, I'm not sure I understand.
cldamt_irtypes
Size: 360x180x3x1
Dimensions: lon,lat,cloud_irtype,time
Datatype: int16
Attributes:
long_name = 'Mean cloud amount for IR-cloud types'
units = 'percent'
valid_min = -500
valid_max = 500
scale_factor = 0.1
_FillValue = 32767
description = 'Cloud detected by IR threshold regardless of VIS threshold, IR type determined by cloud top pressure for blackbody'
standard_name = 'isccp_cloud_area_fraction'
add_offset = 50
Thank you,
