Satellite-based fog and low stratus monthly cover in the Angolan Namib and Central Namib

DOI

This fog and low clouds monthly occurence dataset consists of two regional NetCDF files representing the Angolan Namib (15–17°S) and the Central Namib (22–24°S), each restricted to a coastal strip extending 0–24 km inland from the coastline. The data are provided on the native SEVIRI satellite grid. Monthly values represent the mean percentage of valid 15-minute observations classified as fog or low cloud. Months with 15 or more days of missing data are excluded from the climatology. Geographic coordinates are provided as two-dimensional latitude and longitude fields referenced to the WGS 84 coordinate reference system.
