Short summary
The footprint size of NPP CERES is larger than that of Aqua CERES, because the altitude of the NPP orbit is higher than that of the Aqua orbit. Additionally, the cloud retrievals from VIIRS and MODIS, the imagers that fly alongside NPP CERES and Aqua CERES, are also different. This paper outlined a simulation study using the MODIS pixel-level data to address the impact of these differences on the NPP CERES fluxes inverted using the Aqua CERES angular distribution models.
