Data Product Specification Rev P.
Now have a time dimension in all fields for netCDF files (even though there is only one time value). This was a change requested by data product users to integrate better with existing tools such as vcdat that expect a time dimension. |

Data Product Specification Rev N.
Initial baseline for Level 3 Component Global Cloud Product (CGCL) public release. Baseline ancillary files:
For Albedo (CGAL) product, this version fixes an error in the "Time of Observation" data, which in the previous version was missing many Level 2 observations. The actual Level 3 averages contained all of these observations, they simply were not being recorded in the "Time of Observation" vdata. The current version does correctly record all the Level 2 observations. |
