This repository contain my fiddling and code related to my scientific internship at LFA-IFUSP.

My project consists of comparing and validating several measured cloud fraction between different instruments at the GOAmazon site. Specifically, I will compare the following CF sources:

• CF (Long algorithm) from the GOAmazon radiative flux analyzer
• Calculated Xie & Liu CF algorithm using the GOAmazon radiative flux analyzer data
• GOAmazon TSI
• MODIS Aqua and Terra CF product, channel 6 - level 2
• GOES 12 e 13

Requeriments

All code in this repository was writen and tested in Python 3.5.3, with the interactive notebooks written in Jupyter (>=1.0.0) and IPython (>=6.0.0).

I've used the following Python packages in this project:

• numpy >= 1.12.1
• pandas >= 0.20.1
• scipy >= 0.19.0
• matplotlib >= 2.0.2
• netCDF4 >= 1.2.7
