CALIPSO Lidar Description and Performance Assessment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper provides background material for a collection of Cloud?Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) algorithm papers that are to be published in the Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology. It ...
The CALIPSO Lidar Cloud and Aerosol Discrimination: Version 2 Algorithm and Initial Assessment of Performance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Cloud?Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) satellite was launched in April 2006 to provide global vertically resolved measurements of clouds and aerosols. Correct discrimination between ...
Overview of the CALIPSO Mission and CALIOP Data Processing Algorithms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) is a two-wavelength polarization lidar that performs global profiling of aerosols and clouds in the troposphere and lower stratosphere. CALIOP is the primary ...
CALIPSO Lidar Calibration Algorithms. Part I: Nighttime 532-nm Parallel Channel and 532-nm Perpendicular Channel
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) mission was launched in April 2006 and has continuously acquired collocated multisensor observations of the spatial and optical properties of ...
Fully Automated Detection of Cloud and Aerosol Layers in the CALIPSO Lidar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Accurate knowledge of the vertical and horizontal extent of clouds and aerosols in the earth?s atmosphere is critical in assessing the planet?s radiation budget and for advancing human understanding of climate change issues. ...
