Summary
Abstract: Within the Lidar Aerosol Layer Product there are two general classes of data:
- Column Properties (including position data and viewing geometry)
- Layer Properties

The lidar layer products consist of a sequence of column descriptors, each one of which is associated with a variable number of layer descriptors. The column descriptors specify the temporal and geophysical location of the column of the atmosphere through which a given lidar pulse travels. Also included in the column descriptors are indicators of surface lighting conditions, information about the surface type, and the number of features (e.g., aerosol layers) identified within the column.
