DATASET
------------
"We define track days as the days when we can visually detect polluted cloud tracks on the near-infrared composite Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite images. 
The tracks stand out in the near-infrared composite images due to elevated near-infrared reflectance due to the Twomey effect. 
We use National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS) images where the composite of bands corresponding to wavelengths 0.459–0.479 μm, 1.628–1.652 μm, and 2.105–2.155 μm are used (MODIS channels 3, 6 and 7)."

CONTENTS
------------
In the csv files, for each date, the following classification is given based on Terra Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer images:
0 zero days - no cloud or there is an ice or mixed-phase cloud
1 only cloud days - suitable liquid cloud, but no track
3 track days
