Welcome to the CloudSat Data Processing Center

CloudSat is a satellite mission designed to measure the vertical structure of clouds from space. The spacecraft will produce detailed images of cloud structures which will contribute to a better understanding of clouds and climate.

We encourage you to find out more about the CloudSat mission and the Data Processing Center by perusing this website. However, some of the data and features on this site are available only to CloudSat project team members.
