CALIPSO Lidar Level 2 Polar Stratospheric Clouds presents, composition, and optical properties, V2-00

Description

The Version 2 (V2) CALIPSO Lidar Level 2 Polar Stratospheric Clouds (PSC) data product ensemble describes the spatial distribution, optical properties, and composition of PSC layers observed by the CALIPSO lidar (CALIOP). The product contains profiles of PSC presence, composition, optical properties, and meteorological information on a uniform 5-km horizontal x 180-m vertical grid along CALIPSO orbit tracks. Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) measurements of the primary PSC condensable vapors HNO3 and H2O and a number of parameters from the Aura MLS V2 Derived Meteorological Products (DMPs) are also included in the V2 PSC data product ensemble.
