CALIPSO Wide Field Camera Level 1B 1 km Registered Science data, Validated Stage 1 V3-01

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/wfc/calipso/cal_wfc_l1_iir-valstage1-v3-01_l1b-003.01

CAL_WFC_L1_IIR-ValStage1-V3-01 data are Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) Wide Field Camera Level 1B 1 km Registered Science data.

Description

Version 3.01 includes new metadata parameters and corrections to several minor software bugs. Specifically, the Orbit Number and Path Number metadata parameters are now included to facilitate improved subsetting capabilities.

The primary Wide Field Camera Level 1B data products are calibrated radiance and bidirectional reflectance registered to an Earth-based grid centered on the Lidar ground track. During normal operation, the WFC acquires science data only during the daylight portions of the CALIPSO orbits. The Wide Field Camera Level 1B 1 IIR Registered Science grid provides WFC data on the identical grid as the CALIPSO IIR data and is produced to facilitate the use of the WFC data in the IIR retrievals.

Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) was launched on April 28, 2006, to study the impact of clouds and aerosols on the Earth's radiation budget and climate. It flies in the international A-Train constellation for coincident Earth observations. The CALIPSO satellite comprises three instruments: the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP), the Imaging Infrared Radiometer (IIR), and the Wide Field Camera (WFC).

CALIPSO is a joint satellite mission between NASA and the French Agency CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales).
