2023年8月2日 · CALIPSO combines an active lidar instrument with passive infrared and visible imagers to probe the vertical structure and properties of thin clouds and aerosols over the globe. CALIPSO was launched on April 28, 2006 with the cloud profiling radar system on …

2024年5月1日 · The CALIPSO lidar data are averaged on-board the satellite, prior to being downlinked, using the variable averaging scheme shown in Table 1. Regions 1 and 2 contain single shot data (albeit at different vertical resolutions).

2006年6月13日 · After acquisition and analysis of over 10 years of space-based lidar data, the CALIPSO team has gained a much improved understanding of the physical and optical properties of the different types of aerosols and clouds that occur in different altitude regimes.

2024年1月30日 · CALIOP is a three channel lidar, with detectors that collect 532 nm parallel, 532 nm perpendicular, and 1064 nm light that is backscattered from molecules and particulates (i.e. aerosols, clouds) in the atmosphere.

2024年2月6日 · CALIOP is a nadir-only lidar, therefore data is only collected along the ground track of the satellite. The CALIPSO satellite is in a sun-synchronous orbit with an afternoon equatorial crossing time, and the satellite orbit track repeats every 16 days. Maps of the orbit track can be found below.

2024年12月6日 · CALIOP is a two-wavelength polarization-sensitive lidar that provides high-resolution vertical profiles of aerosols and clouds. Examples of this measurement capability can be found at the LITE and ICESAT home pages.

2024年12月6日 · The CALIPSO Level 2 lidar vertical feature mask data product describes the vertical and horizontal distribution of cloud and aerosol layers observed by the CALIPSO lidar.

2022年5月9日 · The CALIPSO Level 2 lidar vertical feature mask data product describes the vertical and horizontal distribution of cloud and aerosol layers observed by the CALIPSO lidar.
