Earthcare atlid extinction and backscatter retrieval algorithms

Abstract

ATLID stands for "ATmospheric LIDar" and is the lidar to be flown on the Earth Clouds and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) platform in early 2019. ATLID is a High-Spectral Resolution (HSRL) system operating at 355nm. This presentation will introduce the ATLID level-2 retrieval algorithms being implemented in order to derive cloud and aerosol optical properties.
