Characteristics of CALIOP attenuated backscatter noise: implication for cloud/aerosol detection

Characteristics of CALIOP attenuated backscatter noise: implication for cloud/aerosol detection

A research algorithm is developed for noise evaluation and feature detection of the CALIOP (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization) Level 1 (L1) backscatter data with an emphasis on cloud/aerosol features in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UT/LS). CALIOP measurement noise of...
