CALIPSO Lidar Level 2 Blowing Snow - Antarctica, V1-01

CAL_LID_L2_BlowingSnow_Antarctica-Standard-V1-01 is the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) Lidar Level 2 Blowing Snow - Antarctica, Version 1-01 data product. This product was collected using the CALIPSO Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) instrument and reports the distribution of blowing snow properties based on back-scatter retrievals over Antarctica. The version of this product was changed from 1-00 to 1-01 to account for a change in the operating system of the CALIPSO production cluster. Data collection for this product is complete.CALIPSO was launched on April 28, 2006, to study the impact of clouds and aerosols on the Earth's radiation budget and climate. It flies in the international A-Train constellation for coincident Earth observations. The CALIPSO satellite comprises three instruments: CALIOP, Imaging Infrared Radiometer (IIR), and Wide Field Camera (WFC). CALIPSO is a joint satellite mission between NASA and the French Agency, Centre National d'Études Spatiales (CNES).
