The “Products” category features new satellite products processed by ICARE, along with new data sets or new versions collected from other data providers.
The CALIPSO mission announces that as of 11 October 2017 the Version 4.00 Lidar Level-1 product will no longer be publicly available from the Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) at NASA Langley Research Center nor from the French AERIS/ICARE Data and Services Center in Lille, France. This dataset, which spans from June 13, 2006 to […]
The CALIPSO mission announces the release of new versions of its standard Level 1 and Level 2 lidar data products. These products are available through the Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) at NASA Langley Research Center and the French AERIS/ICARE Data and Services Center in Lille, France. The new data products consist of the following: […]
Besides improvements brought to the standard POLDER/PARASOL Level-2 science codes (see below), a new science code has been developed, tested and validated. This code, named PM-L2, is based on the synergy between POLDER/PARASOL and MODIS/Aqua observations. Products are generated and distributed since April 2016. The output data sets are in the same grid as PARASOL […]
Update of previous highlight posted in November 2016. The CALIPSO mission announces the release of new versions of its standard Level-1 and Level-2 lidar data products. These products are available through the Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) at NASA Langley Research Center and the French AERIS/ICARE Data and Services Center in Lille, France. The new […]
Update: 2016/09 for v1.01All PARASOL data products, starting from Level-1, are now available in HDF format (see online archive):L1_B-HDF: v1.01 – Top of the atmosphere radiances – Level-1OC2-HDF: v1.01 – Daily aerosol product over ocean – Level-2LS2-HDF: v1.01 – Daily aerosol product over land – Level-2RB2-HDF: v1.01 – Daily cloud, water vapor, and radiative budget – Level-2OC3-HDF: v1.01 […]
Update: 2016/09After the end of the PARASOL mission, CNES and ICARE completed a full-mission reprocessing in 2014. CNES carried out the final Level-1 PARASOL reprocessing using an improved algorithm incorporating all final in-flight radiometric calibration parameters (CNES document PARASOL_L1_final_reprocessing.pdf ). ICARE proceeded with the reprocessing of the PARASOL Level-2 and Level-3 products using revised science codes as […]
The French Megha-Tropiques science team is pleased to announce the public release of the layer-averaged relative humidity profiles (L2-RH) derived from the SAPHIR instrument. This new Level-2 product is available from the start of the mission (October 2011) until present. (click here to access the data from the ICARE archive interface (current version: v1.00).The SAPHIR relative humidity […]
After 9 years in orbit, the PARASOL mission has gone well beyond the 2-year lifespan expected at the beginning of the mission. PARASOL flew nearly 5 years in formation with other instruments of the A-Train constellation of satellites, providing coincident observations (available at ICARE as well). The good quality of the measurements and innovative inversion […]
A new SEVIRI aerosol product has been developed in the framework of a joint collaboration between Meteo France (CNRM-GAME) and ICARE. The new daily (daytime) aerosol optical depth product (SEV_AERUS-AEROSOL-NRT-D3) is public (current version: v1.01, year 2014 until present)). The AERUS-GEO (Aerosol and surface albEdo Retrieval Using a directional Splitting method-application to GEOstationary data) product […]
