| Version | Date | Update | Release Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| vBa | 2025/3/13 | Start of data provision | |
| vBb | 2025/4/22 | Cloud detection near the surface was improved. | |
| vCa | 2025/12/1 | ・Updates were made to address improvements in clutter discrimination in CPR_ECO and surface detection in ATL_CLA. ・A fully attenuated flag was added to the cloud mask. ・Cloud microphysical properties were improved to ensure consistency with the cloud optical thickness derived from MSI. ・An improved version of the Doppler velocity unfolding correction was implemented. |
|
| vCb | 2026/5/18 | ・Improved cloud mask, cloud particle type, cloud particle category, and cloud microphysical properties ・Added variables (quality flags for CPR_CLP and ATL_CLA) ・Revised variable names |
