CALIPSO Lidar L2 1 km Cloud Layer Data V2-01

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.

云气溶胶激光雷达与红外路径卫星观测系统（CALIPSO）于2006年4月28日发射升空，旨在研究云和气溶胶对地球辐射收支与气候的影响。该卫星与国际“A-Train”星座中的其他五颗卫星协同飞行，进行同步地球观测。CALIPSO卫星搭载三台仪器，包括具有正交偏振功能的云气溶胶激光雷达（CALIOP）、成像红外辐射计（IIR）和宽视场相机（WFC）。CALIPSO项目为美国国家航空航天局（NASA）与法国国家空间研究中心（CNES）的联合卫星任务。所收集的数据包括5公里气溶胶层数据。
