description: Flag for multi-layer multi-phase cloud situations. Values 2 through 8 indicate the success of various multi-layer cloud tests. Value of 0 indicates no retrieval, value of 1 indicates single layer cloud. The other values are of increasing confidence level. The value of 2 is of absolute lowest confidence and often can be ignored as it is a result of cloud phase comparison test, which is not always trustworthy.
