Projet international d'établissement d'une climatologie des nuages à l'aide de données satellitaires

OBS: ISCCP was established in 1982 as part of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) to collect and analyse satellite radiance measurements to infer the global distribution of clouds, their properties, and their diurnal, seasonal, and interannual variations. The resulting datasets and analysis products are being used to improve understanding and modeling of the role of clouds in climate, with the primary focus being the elucidation of the effects of clouds on the radiation balance.
