Layer: Cloud Optical Thickness (Terra/MODIS) (ID: 1)

Name: Cloud Optical Thickness (Terra/MODIS)

Display Field: Name

Type: Raster Catalog Layer

Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolygon

Description: Clouds have the ability to cool our planet, or they can help to warm it. Because there are so many different kinds of clouds, and because they move and change so fast, they are hard to understand and even harder to predict. Scientists want to know how much sunlight clouds reflect and how much sunlight passes through clouds to reach Earth's surface. By measuring how much sunlight gets scattered by clouds back up into space, scientists can better understand how much clouds influence Earth's climate.
