Regularly updated ISCCP

[Ken Knapp - NOAA Federal]

Do you need ISCCP data updated more frequently? For instance, if we could provide quarterly data within a month? Or monthly data within a month?

If so, please reply here and provide two things:

1. Use case (how you would use the regular updates)

2. What frequency of update would meet your needs?

We will use this information to help prioritize our efforts. Given sufficient need, we could make regular updates a priority.

1. We perform clustering analysis on the PC-TAU data primarily. Once we have established clustering results that we like, we create data products from the ISCCP PC-TAU data which identify every gridbox of the data to a cluster result.

2. New data introduced into clustering can change the results in unknown ways so notification of newly available data on a monthly basis, or monthly data within a month, would be fantastic.
