CALIPSO Lidar Level 2 5 km Cloud Layer, V4-20

CAL_LID_L2_05kmCLay-Standard-V4-20 is the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) Lidar Level 2 5 km Cloud Layer, Version 4-20 data product. Data for this product was collected using the CALIPSO Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) instrument. Data collection for this product is ongoing.
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 the international A-Train constellation for coincident Earth observations. The CALIPSO satellite comprises three instruments, CALIOP, Imaging Infrared Radiometer (IIR), and Wide Field Camera (WFC). CALIPSO is a joint satellite mission between NASA and the French Agency, CNES.

CAL_LID_L2_05kmCLay-Standard-V4-20为云气激光雷达与红外路径探测卫星观测（Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations，简称CALIPSO）激光雷达第二级5公里云层版本4-20数据产品。该产品所使用的数据由CALIPSO搭载的云气激光雷达正交极化仪（CALIOP）收集，数据收集工作仍在进行中。CALIPSO卫星于2006年4月28日发射，旨在研究云和气溶胶对地球辐射收支和气候的影响。卫星在国际A-Train星座中进行地球同步观测。CALIPSO卫星包含三个仪器，分别为CALIOP、成像红外辐射计（Imaging Infrared Radiometer，简称IIR）和广域相机（Wide Field Camera，简称WFC）。CALIPSO是NASA与法国国家空间研究中心（French Agency, CNES）联合发起的卫星任务。
