CALIPSO: Cloud and Aerosol Lidar Level 2 1km Cloud Layer Version 3-02 Product (CAL_LID_L2_01kmCLay-ValStage1-V3-02)
The Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) was a joint-mission between NASA and the French space agency Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales. The main objectives of the mission was to supply unique data set of vertical cloud and aerosol profiles.
This dataset contains cloud and aerosol lidar level 2 1km cloud layer version 3-02 data product, which provides cloud data derived from Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) Level 1B product at 1 km horizontal resolution, with full complement of diagnostic and quality assurance parameters. The data provides range of parameters including vertical profile of cloud layers, optical depth. Version 3-02 marks the transition to a new cluster computing system without any changes in the algorithm used in version 3-01. The resulting impact on the products are very minor.
