CALIPSO Lidar Level 1.5 Profile, V1-00

CAL_LID_L15-Standard-V1-00 is the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) Lidar Level 1.5 Profile, Version 1-00 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.
This product is a continuous segment of calibrated, geolocated, cloud-cleared, and spatially averaged profiles of lidar attenuated backscatter. These profiles are derived via a synthesis of the CALIPSO lidar Level 1B profile and lidar Level 2 5 km aerosol profile products with the lidar Level 2 Vertical Feature Mask (VFM) product. The lidar Level 1.5 standard data product is derived using standard Version 4.10 level 1B and Version 4.20 level 2 data products as input.
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_L15-Standard-V1-00为云气激光雷达和红外路径探测器卫星观测（CALIPSO）激光雷达1.5级轮廓，版本1-00数据产品。该产品的数据由CALIPSO云气激光雷达正交极化（CALIOP）仪器收集。该产品的数据收集工作仍在进行中。该产品为连续的校准、地理定位、云气清除和空间平均的激光雷达衰减后向散射轮廓。这些轮廓是通过将CALIPSO激光雷达1B级轮廓和激光雷达2级5公里气溶胶轮廓产品与激光雷达2级垂直特征掩模（VFM）产品综合得到的。激光雷达1.5级标准数据产品是使用标准版本4.10级1B和版本4.20级2数据产品作为输入生成的。CALIPSO于2006年4月28日发射，旨在研究云气和气溶胶对地球辐射收支和气候的影响。它在国际A-Train星座中进行地球同步观测。CALIPSO卫星包括三个仪器：CALIOP、成像红外辐射计（IIR）和广角相机（WFC）。CALIPSO是NASA与法国国家空间研究中心（CNES）联合发射的卫星任务。
