TOOCAN cloud mask

This dataset comprises a high cloud mask derived from the TOOCAN dataset (Fiolleau et al., 2020) within the region spanning from 0N to 9.6N latitude and 140E to 149.6E longitude. The TOOCAN dataset offers calibrated infra-red brightness temperatures across the entire tropical band in the period 2012-2016. The images have 0.04° spatial resolution and 30 minute temporal frequency. Fiolleau, T., R. Roca, S. Cloché, D. Bouniol, P.
