The Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) was a joint-mission between NASA and the French space agency Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales. The main objectives of the mission was to supply unique data set of vertical cloud and aerosol profiles.
This dataset contains cloud and aerosol lidar level 2 vertical feature mask version 3-30 data product describes the horizontal and vertical distribution of the cloud and the aerosol layers observed by the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP). Version 3-30 was released in April, 2013. This version incorporates two ancillary input files updated from those used in versions 3-01 and 3-02: GEOS-5 processing system version 5.9.1 from version 5.2; and the enhanced Air Force Weather Authority (AFWA) Snow and Ice Datasets. The resulting changes are relatively small.
