AERIS/ICARE is pleased to announce the release of the latest version of the CALIPSO/CloudSat SODA products, giving access to the aerosol and semi-transparent cloud optical depths from the analysis of surface and dense clouds returns. This product originates from the collaboration between IPSL/LATMOS, NASA LaRC, and AERIS/ICARE Data and Services Center. The whole CALIPSO/CLOUDSAT period […]
The workshop will be held to discuss priorities for the future direction of the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project – Next Generation (ISCCP-NG). The Earth observing capabilities from geostationary orbit have advanced substantially over recent years. With the launch of GOES-17 in 2018, the global geostationary constellation is now comprised of sensors with 10 or […]
The 2nd conference on “Advancement of POLarimetric Observations: instruments, calibration, and improved aerosol and cloud retrievals” (APOLO) will be held November 4-7, 2019, at the University of Lille, France. Various topics will be covered, including: advances in the theory of polarimetric remote sensing, optimization of strategies of polarimetric Earth observations, improvement of polarimetric observation quality […]
NASA’s Cloud-Aerosol Transport System (CATS) is a lidar remote sensing instrument on the International Space Station (ISS). During its life span of 33 months, from 25 March 2015 through 29 October 2017, CATS provided measurements of cloud and aerosol profiles similar to CALIPSO. CATS Level-1B Version 3-00 and Level-2O Version 3-01 data are now available […]
The CALIPSO mission team, in collaboration with the Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) at NASA Langley Research Center and AERIS/ICARE Data and Services Center, announces the release of a new CALIOP Level 1.5 Product: CAL_LID_L15-Standard-V1-00 The CALIOP Level 1.5 data is a continuous segment of calibrated, geo-located, cloud-cleared, and spatially averaged profiles of lidar attenuated […]
The “A-Train Lille Symposium 2007” will be held in Lille – Grand-Palais, October 22-25, 2007. The symposium aims at providing a forum focused on characterization of cloud and aerosol properties, their representation in models, and related processes such as cloud-aerosols interactions and their effect on radiation. The “A-train observatory”, set up by NASA and CNES, […]
La Journée Scientifique du Labex CaPPA est organisée tous les ans à destination des laboratoires du Labex. Elle est l’occasion de discuter et échanger au sujet des avancées scientifiques des différents groupes de travail. Bilan scientifique de l’année 2018, présentation de posters et ateliers sont prévus. Toute la communauté scientifique qui travaille pour le projet […]
A new order tool was developed by AERIS/ICARE Data and Services Center to retrieve geostationary data sets from the ICARE archive.Click here to access the tool.Users can combine various selection criteria (satellite(s), data set(s), geographic region, date range, time range, etc.) to place custom orders. Orders can mix different satellites and data sets. Reprojection on […]
The 2nd Workshop of the International Cloud Working Group (ICWG) will be held in Madison, Wisconsin, USA from 29 October to 2 November 2018. The workshop aims at enhancing cloud retrieval schemes and their applicability and a better characterization of their validity. Experts working with cloud parameter retrieval schemes from passive imagers, passive microwave, and […]
