CALIPSO satellite data provides monthly mean vertical profiles of aerosol optical properties on a uniform spatial grid, derived from the CALIOP lidar instrument. This Level 3 product reports data below 12 km altitude, generated separately for day and night from version 5.00 Level 2 data. The mission was a NASA and CNES partnership, with science operations concluding in August 2023.
Data access likely requires registration with NASA Earthdata. The 'All-Sky' designation means cloud-contaminated columns are included in averages, which may affect clear-sky aerosol studies.
