Cloud Mask - MTG - 0 degree

The central aim of the cloud mask (CLM) product is to identify cloudy and cloud free FCI Level 1c pixels with high confidence. The product also provides information on the presence of snow/sea ice, volcanic ash and dust. This information is crucial both for spatiotemporal analyses of the cloud coverage and for the subsequent retrieval of other meteorological products that are only valid for cloudy (e.g. cloud properties) or clear pixels (e.g. clear sky reflectance maps or global instability indices). The algorithm is based on multispectral threshold techniques applied to each pixel of the image. CLM is available in netCDF and GRIB format, every 10 minutes, at a spatial resolution of 2 km at nadir.
