CALIPSO's CALIOP instrument collected raw, unprocessed backscatter profiles at 15-meter vertical resolution across three laser channels. These Payload Instrument Verification and Block (PIVB) data packets were acquired intermittently from August 2016 to June 2023. The dataset was produced by NASA and the French Space Agency (CNES) as part of the CALIPSO mission to study clouds and aerosols.
Data is in its raw, unprocessed state and requires significant expertise in lidar data processing for scientific use. Access likely requires familiarity with NASA Earthdata tools and formats.
