Legends

  

Unfortunately, it is not always possible to provide false colour images (usually used here to show 'cloud top height', 'cloud type index' and 'cloud albedo' data) with a corresponding colour legend.
In this case three images presented below may help to find the correspondence colour- physical value.

h max = 7÷16 km
h min ~= 0.2 km

The lower limit of a cloud top height registered by MERIS does not change as a rule and remains at the level 0.2 km.
The upper limit changes from 3 to 16 km.
However the order of false colours keeps the same when the images and the upper limit change.

The scale for the cloudy albedo remains permanent for all corresponding images. The scale for the cloud optical thickness remains nearly permanent for all corresponding images. The scale for the cloudiness type remains invariable for all corresponding images.
In case there are any concrete questions the author will be pleased to help to specify physical parameters.
