Description:
A database of NetCDF files, containing stereoscopic cloud top height retrievals for a severe thunderstorm over Kansas during the NASA Earth Venture Suborbital Dynamics and Chemistry of the Summer Stratosphere (DCOTSS) mission. The retrievals combine stereo pairs from the GOES-16 and GOES-17 satellites using GOES Mesoscale Domain Sector scan images at 1-minute intervals, and also using GOES Full Disk scan images at 10-minute intervals.  The time period analyzed extends from 2000 UTC on 23 June to 0100 UTC on 24 June 2022.
