Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) Data Long-Term Means
Climatologies for each month and field have been produced. All available months were used. An attempt has been made to correct for inconsistencies introduced into the data record (e.g., by the failure of scanners), and this should be kept in mind when using the climatological data.SOURCE: CERES Monthly Means
