Overview of the CALIPSO Mission and CALIOP Data Processing Algorithms
David M. Winker,Mark A. Vaughan,Ali Omar,Yongxiang Hu,Kathleen A. Powell,Zhaoyan Liu,William H. Hunt,Stuart A. Young +7 more
TL;DR: Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) is a two-wavelength polarization lidar that performs global profiling of aerosols and clouds in the troposphere and lower stratosphere as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Initial performance assessment of CALIOP
TL;DR: The Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) is a two-wavelength polarizatio n lidar that has been acquiring global data since June 2006.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This approach demonstrates that the addition of even sparse ground-based measurements to more globally continuous PM2.5 data sources can yield valuable improvements to PM 2.5 characterization on a global scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
THE CALIPSO MISSION: A Global 3D View of Aerosols and Clouds
