Short summary
Clouds strongly influence Earth's energy balance and water cycle, yet global cloud datasets cannot provide both long time coverage and high detail in space and time. We created an open dataset of continuous, high-resolution cloud physical properties every three hours from 2000 to 2022. Independent evaluation shows stable accuracy over years, no clear day–night bias, and continuous spatiotemporal coverage. This dataset supports more reliable studies of clouds' roles in radiation and hydrology.
