Measurements of the global cloud vertical structure (CVS) are critical to better understanding effects CVS on climate. Current algorithms based OCO-2 have be combined with top height products from CALIPSO and CloudSat, which no longer available after these two satellites left A-Train in 2018. In this paper, we derive a machine learning-based algorithm using only oxygen A-band hyperspectral meas...

Abstract. The accurate classification of aerosol types injected into the stratosphere is important to properly characterize their chemical and radiative impacts within Earth climate system. updated stratospheric subtyping algorithm used in version 4.5 (V4.5) release Cloud Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) level 2 data products now delivers more comprehensive classifications th...

We study the spatial and temporal variability of summer marine fog in Chukchi–Beaufort region (175°E?150°W, 70°–86°N) using in-situ visibility measurements aboard Chinese research fleet Xuelong (I II) a product we derive Vertical Feature Mask spaceborne Cloud-Aerosol Lidar Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) observations. The observations show that frequency has maximum ?18% ear...

Extinction coefficients retrieved in deep tropical ice clouds from lidar observations using a CALIPSO-like algorithm compared to in-situ measurements from the Cloud Integrated Nephelometer during CRYSTAL-FACE V.

The Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite Limb Profiler (OMPS/LP) ozone product requires the determination of cloud height for each event to establish the lower boundary of the profile for the retrieval algorithm. We have created a revised cloud detection algorithm for LP measurements that uses the spectral dependence of the vertical gradient in radiance between two wavelengths in the visible and ne...

CALIPSO (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Spaceborne Observations) is an approved satellite mission being developed through collaboration between NASA and the French space agency CNES. The mission is scheduled for launch in 2004 and will operate for 3 years as part of a five-satellite formation called the Aqua constellation. This constellation will provide a unique data set on aeroso...
