This is the IDL code used to create the results published in Mace, G. G., Benson, S., Humphries, R., Gombert P. M., Sterner, E.: Natural marine cloud brightening in the Southern Ocean, Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics. The IDL code processes MOD03 geolocation fields, MOD06_L2 cloud retrievals, MODIS ocean color chlorophyll-a concentrations and CERES shortwave albedo data that is distributed by NASA data archives. It creates statistical results for non-precipitating or weakly precipitating warm, liquid, shallow, marine boundary layer clouds.
