A machine learning algorithm based on Gaussian processes for MODIS multilayer cloud and thermodynamic phase classification using CALIOP and CloudSat

This Jupyter notebook presents a machine learning algorithm based on Gaussian processes to detect cloud thermodynamic phase and multilayer clouds for the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) instrument. The algorithm is trained using a co-located dataset between MODIS CALIOP and CloudSat.
