CALIPSO Lidar L2 1/3 km Cloud Layer Data V1-10

Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) was launched on April 28, 2006 to study the impact of clouds and aerosols on the Earth’s radiation budget and climate. It flies in formation with five other satellites in the international “A-Train” (PDF) constellation for coincident Earth observations. The CALIPSO satellite comprises three instruments, the Cloud-Aerosol LIdar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP), the Imaging Infrared Radiometer (IIR), and the Wide Field Camera (WFC). CALIPSO is a joint satellite mission between NASA and the French Agency, CNES. These data consist 5 km aerosol layer data.

Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations（CALIPSO）卫星于2006年4月28日发射升空，旨在研究云层和气溶胶对地球辐射收支及气候的影响。该卫星与五颗其他卫星组成国际“A-Train”星座，进行同步的地球观测。CALIPSO卫星搭载了三台仪器，包括具有正交极化的云气溶胶激光雷达（CALIOP）、成像红外辐射计（IIR）以及宽视场相机（WFC）。CALIPSO卫星是由美国国家航空航天局（NASA）与法国国家空间研究中心（CNES）联合实施的项目。该数据集包含了5公里气溶胶层数据。
