Monthly anomaly maps from Terra MODIS for daytime cloud fraction and cloud top pressure

These images are created from the monthly mean level 3 daytime cloud fraction and daytime cloud top pressure from Terra MODIS. They are not pixel weighted and on a 1 degree equal angle grid.

These anomaly plots were created by subtracting the time record monthly mean from the current monthly value:


current January 2006 - mean of all Januaries = Anomaly map for January 2006


The January anomaly plots are much more noisy because of sparse data in January 2004
