CALIPSO Lidar Level 3 Tropospheric Aerosol Profiles, Cloudy Sky Transparent Data, Standard V4-21
CAL_LID_L3_Tropospheric_APro_CloudySkyTransparent-Standard-V4-21 is the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) Lidar Level 3 Tropospheric Aerosol Profiles, Cloudy Sky Transparent Data, Standard Version 4-20 data product. Data collection, which is ongoing, is collected using the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) instrument. The CALIPSO lidar level 3 aerosol data product reports monthly mean profiles of aerosol optical properties on a uniform spatial grid. It is intended to be a tropospheric product, so data are only reported below altitudes of 12 km. All level 3 parameters are derived from the version 4.21 CALIOP level 2 aerosol profile product and have been quality screened before averaging. The primary quantities reported are vertical profiles of the aerosol extinction coefficient at 532 nm and its vertical integral, the aerosol optical depth (AOD). Aerosol type and spatial distribution information are also included. Averaged profile data is reported for all aerosols, regardless of type, and for mineral dust aerosols only. Classification of dust is based on the aerosol-type flags in the level 2 profile product. To keep level 3 file sizes manageable, there are four different types of level 3 files produced, depending on the sky condition and the temporal coverage of the data before averaging: Description of the Four Sky Conditions (Day, Night)1) All Sky: All level 2 columns are averaged, regardless of cloud occurrence,2) Cloud-Free: Only cloud-free level 2 columns are averaged,3) Cloudy-Sky, Transparent: Only level 2 columns containing transparent clouds are averaged, and4) Cloud-Sky, Opaque: Only level 2 columns containing opaque clouds are averagedCALIPSO 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 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 (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales).
CALIPSO Lidar Level 3 Stratospheric Aerosol Profiles Standard V1-00
CAL_LID_L3_Stratospheric_APro-Standard-V1-00 is the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) Lidar Level 3 Stratospheric Aerosol Profiles Standard Version 1-00 data product. This data product was collected using the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) instrument. Data generation and distribution of this V1.00 product ended on July 1, 2020 to support a change in the operating system of the CALIPSO production clusters. The V1.01 data product covers July 1, 2020, to current. The CALIPSO Lidar Level 3 stratospheric aerosol reports global distributions of 532nm total attenuated backscatter, extinction, attenuated scattering ratios, and stratospheric aerosol optical depths on a uniform spatial grid. All level 3 parameters are derived from the CALIPSO version 4 level 1 and level 2 5 km merged layer and version 3 level 2 polar stratospheric cloud data products, with a temporal averaging of one month. The primary outputs are reported in terms of 1) background only and 2) all aerosol. All features identified by the level 2 algorithms have been removed for background only. Only aerosol layers are considered for all aerosols, while clouds and polar stratospheric clouds are removed. CALIPSO was launched on April 28, 2006, and continues to collect data necessary to study the impact of clouds and aerosols on the Earth's radiation budget and climate.

CALIPSO Wide Field Camera Level 1B 1 km Registered Science data, Validated Stage 1 V3-02
CAL_WFC_L1_IIR-ValStage1-V3-02 data are Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) Wide Field Camera Level 1B 1 km Registered Science data. Version 3.02 represents a transition of the Lidar, IIR, and WFC processing and browse code to a new cluster computing system. No algorithm changes were introduced and very minor changes were observed between V3.01 and V3.02 as a result of the compiler and computer architecture differences. The primary Wide Field Camera Level 1B data products are calibrated radiance and bidirectional reflectance registered to an Earth-based grid centered on the Lidar ground track. During the normal operation, the WFC acquires science data only during the daylight portions of the CALIPSO orbits. The Wide Field Camera Level 1B 1 IIR Registered Science grid provides WFC data on the identical grid as the CALIPSO IIR data and is produced to facilitate the use of the WFC data in the IIR retrievals.

CALIPSO Night Validation Flights High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL-2) Data
The CALIPSO Night Validation Flights (CALIPSO-NVF) airborne deployment was conducted in August 2022 out of Bermuda. The goal was to conduct a series of nighttime underflights of the CALIPSO satellite with the NASA Langley High Spectral Resolution Lidar (HSRL-2). Airborne measurements from the NASA Langley HSRL-2 instrument are essential for verifying the calibration accuracy of the CALIPSO lidar and for acquiring information on aerosol optical properties used for its aerosol profile retrievals. By flying under the CALIPSO ground track, HSRL-2 provides an independent measurement of lidar attenuated backscatter with a higher signal-to-noise ratio. To obtain this important validation dataset, the HSRL-2 was flown on board the LaRC B-200 King Air as CALIPSO passed within range of the aircraft. The western Atlantic Ocean was selected for CALIPSO-NVF to allow unobstructed, 45-minute flights along the satellite ground track. Five nighttime underflights were executed in total – four in cloud-free skies on August 7, 10, 12, and 17th, yielding ideal data from both instruments for calibration validation. The fifth flight on August 18th targeted measurements beneath cirrus to assess the accuracy of CALIPSO aerosol retrievals through high clouds at night, an important but previously unexplored validation target. Total research flight time was 17.7 hours, sampling 2,200 km along the CALIPSO ground track.
