Competing Interests

M.O.R, E.C.S, Z.W, V.K, and R.S. received funding from NASA's Applied Sciences program, NASA’s Earth Science Data and Information Systems (ESDIS) project, and the NASA’s Terra/Aqua/Suomi-NPP program, which supported our project under the following RTOP grants: NNH16ZDA001N-GEO16-0055, NNH17ZDA001N-TASNPP17-0007. SSAI, a commercial government contractor, provided indirect support in the form of administering salaries for R.S (salaries that were funded by NASA Applied Sciences grants). SSAI, nor any of our funders, had any additional role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript. The specific roles of these authors are articulated in the ‘author contributions’ section.
