mission team announces the release of a new data product
CAL_LID_L2_PSCMask-Prov-V1-00
This new ensemble CALIPSO Lidar Level-2 Polar Stratospheric Cloud (PSC)
data product describes the spatial distribution and optical properties
of PSC layers observed by the CALIPSO lidar. The product contains
profiles of PSC presence, composition, optical properties, and
meteorological information along CALIPSO orbit tracks. Data from all
nighttime orbit segments from a single day are reported on a 5-km
(horizontal) by 180-m (vertical) grid. This new product is available
beginning with data date June 13, 2006 (start of the mission).
