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

CAL_LID_L2_05kmMLay-Standard-V4-20 is the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) Lidar Level 2 5 km Merged 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_05kmMLay-Standard-V4-20乃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）激光雷达二级5公里合并层，版本4-20的数据产品。该数据产品之数据乃采用CALIPSO云气激光雷达（Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization，简称CALIOP）仪器所收集。此产品之数据收集仍在进行中。CALIPSO于2006年4月28日发射升空，旨在研究云气与气溶胶对地球辐射收支及气候之影响。它在国际A-Train星座中进行地球观测。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为美国国家航空航天局（National Aeronautics and Space Administration，简称NASA）与法国国家空间研究中心（Centre National d'Études Spatiales，简称CNES）之联合卫星任务。
