Cover Story: The Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) has monitored clouds and radiation since 2000 with broadband radiometers collocated with cloud properties retrieved from radiances measured by the MODerate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on Terra and Aqua. Continuing the CERES cloud record employs radiances from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) in the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership. The MODIS retrieval techniques are adapted to VIIRS to minimize spectral and channel differences, with several additional changes. With a few exceptions, the resulting 2012–2020 VIIRS cloud amount, phase, height, optical depth, and hydrometeor size retrievals agree reasonably well with their Aqua MODIS counterparts. Various sources of disagreement are identified and will be mitigated in future editions. View this paper
