- ItemEarthcare atlid extinction and backscatter retrieval algorithms(Les Ulis : EDP Sciences, 2018) Donovan, David; van Zadelhoff, Gerd-Jan; Daou, David; Wandinger, Ulla; Nicolae, D.; Makoto, A.; Vassilis, A.; Balis, D.; Behrendt, A.; Comeron, A.; Gibert, F.; Landulfo, E.; McCormick, M.P.; Senff, C.; Veselovskii, I.; Wandinger, U.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.
- ItemEarthCARE Aerosol and Cloud Layer and Column Products(Les Ulis : EDP Sciences, 2018) Wandinger, Ulla; Hünerbein, Anja; Horn, Stefan; Schneider, Florian; Donovan, David; van Zadelhoff, Gerd-Jan; Daou, David; Docter, Nicole; Fischer, Jürgen; Filipitsch, Florian; Nicolae, D.; Makoto, A.; Vassilis, A.; Balis, D.; Behrendt, A.; Comeron, A.; Gibert, F.; Landulfo, E.; McCormick, M.P.; Senff, C.; Veselovskii, I.; Wandinger, U.We introduce the development of EarthCARE Level 2 layer products derived from profile measurements of the high-spectral-resolution lidar ATLID and column products obtained from combined information of ATLID and the Multi-Spectral Imager (MSI). Layer products include cloud top height as well as aerosol layer boundaries and mean optical properties along the satellite nadir track. Synergistic column products comprise cloud top height, Ångström exponent, and aerosol type both along-track and across the MSI swath.
