PRODUCTS - CALIPSO STANDARD Browse Images - Versions 3.40 and 3.45

As part of the A-Train / C-Train satellite constellation, CALIPSO provides profile observations of cloud and aerosols and IR imagery of high cirrus clouds in this region. These measurements are combined with other A-Train / C-Train satellite measurements and detailed observations from aircraft and ground-based instruments to better understand the formation and evolution of tropical clouds and how aerosols affect the climate system.

Expedited CALIPSO browse images have a processing latency of about 12 hours. These products use degraded attitude information, a simple calibration scheme based on climatology and are made available to support operational forecasting activities.

Version 3.40 valid date range is: December 1, 2016 thru August 31, 2018.
And, Version 3.45 valid date range is: September 1, 2018 thru present.
