The wide range of studies conducted with the ISCCP datasets and the changing environment for
accessing datasets over the Internet suggested the need for the Web site to provide: 1) a larger variety of information about the project and its data products for a much wider variety of
users [e.g., people who may not use a particular ISCCP data product but could use some ancillary information (such as the map grid definition, topography, snow and ice cover)-RSB-; 2) more information about the main data products in several different forms (e.g., illustrations of the cloud analysis method) and more
flexible access to the full documentation; 3)
access to more data summaries and diagnostic statistics to illustrate research possibilities for students, for classroom use by educators, or for

access to the complete data products (e.g., the whole monthly mean cloud dataset is now available online).
