CALIPSO Wide Field Camera Level 1B Calibration data, V4-00

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/wfc/calipso/cal_wfc_l1_cal-standard-v4-00

CAL_WFC_L1_Cal-Standard-V4-00 is the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) Wide Field Camera (WFC)Level 1B Calibration Version 4-00 data product.

Description

The WFC Level 1B Calibration data products contain geolocated nighttime digital count data. The calibration data is collected over a 25-second segment on the dark side of every orbit.

CALIPSO was a partnership between NASA and the French Space Agency, CNES. CALIPSO was launched on April 28, 2006 to study the many roles played by clouds and aerosols in Earth’s climate and weather. It flew in the international A-Train constellation for coincident Earth observations from launch until September 13, 2018,when CALIPSO began lowering its orbit from 705 km to 688 km (428 miles) above the Earth to resume formation flying with CloudSat as part of the “C-Train”.

The CALIPSO satellite carried three remote sensing instruments: the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization(CALIOP), the Imaging Infrared Radiometer (IIR), and the Wide Field-of-View Camera (WFC). By mutual agreement between NASA and CNES, the CALIPSO science mission concluded on August1, 2023.
