CALIPSO Lidar Level 2 5km aerosol profile data V3-01
Entry ID:
CAL_LID_L2_05kmAPro-Prov-V3-01
Summary
Abstract:
The Lidar Level 2 Aerosol Profile data products contain averaged aerosol profile data and ancillary data. There are no layer descriptors included in the lidar aerosol profile data products. The spatial distribution of the aerosol layers is instead completely characterized by the aerosol layer fraction and atmospheric volume description parameters.
The aerosol profile products are generated at a uniform horizontal resolution of 5 km. The aerosol backscatter and extinction coefficients are computed using a lidar ratio selected by the CALIPSO Lidar Ratio selection algorithm (refer to the Scene Classification ATBD).
