Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2009:;volume( 026 ):;issue: 007:;page 1198

Author(s): Liu, Zhaoyan; Vaughan, Mark; Winker, David; Kittaka, Chieko; Getzewich, Brian; Kuehn, Ralph; Omar, Ali; Powell, Kathleen; Trepte, Charles; Hostetler, Chris

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 ...

CloudSat and CALIPSO within the A-Train: Ten Years of Actively Observing the Earth System

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;2017:;volume 099:;issue 003:;page 569

Author(s): Stephens, Graeme; Winker, David; Pelon, Jacques; Trepte, Charles; Vane, Deborah; Yuhas, Cheryl; L’Ecuyer, Tristan; Lebsock, Matthew

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: AbstractOne of the most successful demonstrations of an integrated approach to observe Earth from multiple perspectives is the A-Train satellite constellation. The science enabled by this constellation flourished with the ...
