Data from 2006 to 2023 provides cloud and aerosol layer properties from the CALIPSO satellite's CALIOP lidar instrument. This Level 2 merged layer product, generated by NASA and the French Space Agency CNES, reports column and layer descriptors at a 5 km horizontal resolution. The mission concluded its science operations in August 2023.
Data structure involves a variable number of layer descriptors associated with each fixed column descriptor, requiring flexible parsing logic.
