CIRS-ML radiative heating rates, vertical cloud structure & rain rate classification from 2004 to 2018

The radiative heating rate profiles from NASA CloudSat-CALIPSO FLXHR data (R04), cloud top height and vertical extent from CloudSat-CALIPSO GEOPROF (R04) have been extended in space and time by artificial neural network (ANN) regression models applied on cloud properties from CIRS-AIRS and atmospheric and surface properties from ERA-Interim re-analyses. 
A rain intensity classification has been built in the same manner from CloudSat PRECIP-COLUMN data (R04). 
This rain intensity classification is more efficient to detect large latent heating than cold cloud temperature (Stubenrauch et al. 2023).
