Cloudmap file format

The data is in Hdf5 format date and time cost(nlat,nlon) real data(nlat,nlon,6) real error(nlat,nlon,6) real where the 6 variables in the data and error arrays are.. 1. optical depth 2. particle size 3. cloud top pressure 4. cloud fraction 5. skin temperature 6. cloud top height iteration(nlat,nlon) integer phase(nlat,nlon) integer latlon(nlat,nlon,2) real for the structure of the hdf5 data set is typically shown here using the unix command 'h5dump -H hdffile'
