I do not know if SSEC/CIMSS maintains an archive of the CTP products that they create. Even if they did, would they cover the area you are interested in? I can say with assurity that none of the CIMSS products that are available in the UNIWISC IDD (Internet Data Distribution) feed are archived by us. > If not then I think I will use my colleagues algorithm and Mcidas V to > determine > the CTP for my specific times and location. I think you need to use your colleague's algorithm. Just out of curiosity, how does that algorithm determine cloud top pressure from a single band?
