As noted here<\/a>, an updated version of geo2grid is being prepared at CIMSS<\/a>. As part of that upgrade, support for some level 2 products will be included. For example, the image above — of cloud-top height — was created using the following set of geo2grid (a beta version that this blogger is testing) calls. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does the image above compare to Level 2 product fields that can be found elsewhere?  This website<\/a> contains a link to a RealEarth instance that includes mappings of Full-Disk Cloud Mask, Cloud Top Pressure, Cloud top Phase, and Cloud Optical Depth.  A portion of the Full-Disk Cloud Top Pressure is shown below (from 1500 UTC).  Similar features are apparent in fields above and below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Level 2 Products associated with Cloud-top properties are also available at the CIRA slider, including Cloud-top Height, shown below from 1501 UTC<\/a>.  Other GOES-R Level 2 products available there include Cloud Optical Depth, Cloud Mask, Cloud Phase and Cloud Effective Particle Size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
