CALIPSO's CALIOP instrument provides global distributions of ice cloud extinction and ice water content histograms on a uniform spatial grid. All Level 3 parameters are derived from 5km cloud profile products, with a temporal average of one month, to study the impact of clouds and aerosols on Earth's radiation budget. The satellite, a joint NASA-CNES mission launched on April 28, 2006, flies in the A-Train constellation for coincident Earth observations.
License is specified as 'other-license-specified'; users must check the specific terms. The product is based on Version 1-00 of the algorithm; a new release requires updates to Level 2 data and the Level 3 algorithm.
