Data and code for manuscript "Retrieval-dependent sampling leads to biased satellite estimates of aerosol–cloud interactions"

Description

This record includes the data and code package associated with the manuscript: "Retrieval-dependent sampling leads to biased satellite estimates of aerosol–cloud interactions" by Antti Arola, Timo H. Virtanen, Antti Lipponen, Pekka Kolmonen, Tom Goren, Goutam Choudhury, Edward Gryspeerdt, Vishnu Nair, David Painemal, Hannes Keernik, Velle Toll, and Harri Kokkola, submitted to Science Advances in 2026. The data and code are used to investigate retrieval-dependent sampling effects in satellite-based aerosol-cloud interaction studies. The datasets are derived primarily from NASA MODIS observations, and the included scripts reproduce the analyses and figures described in the associated manuscript.
