The CALIPSO mission team, in collaboration with the Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) at NASA Langley Research Center, announces the release of a new CALIOP Level 1 Product: CAL_LID_L1-Standard-V4-51 The product is available beginning with data from June 13, 2006 (following CALIOP first light), and as of this announcement, through December 31, 2010. Remaining data […]
The full period for the TAPEER-BRAIN product is now available from 2011 to 2021. Find more information about data access here. Please find below associated documents for this release : The GEO confidence index documents for the full period from 2011 to 2021 A quality diagram on signal duration/day for SAPHIR A quality diagram on […]
The CALIPSO mission team, in collaboration with the Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) at NASA Langley Research Center, announces the release of a new daily CALIOP Level 2 Polar Stratospheric Cloud (PSC) Mask Product: CAL_LID_L2_PSCMask-Standard-V2-00 The CALIPSO Lidar Level 2 Polar Stratospheric Cloud data product ensemble describes the spatial distribution, optical properties, and composition of […]
The Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC) at NASA Langley Research Center in collaboration with the CALIPSO mission team announces the release of a new CALIPSO IIR level 3 (L3) Global Energy and Water cycle Experiment (GEWEX) Cloud product. This new data product is a reformatted version of CALIPSO’s contribution to the GEWEX cloud assessment of […]
Several CALIPSO Lidar and IIR data products have been pulled off of public access and can no longer be ordered, neither at AERIS/ICARE, nor at NASA ASDC. These data products, spanning from June 13, 2006 to September 30, 2020, have been replaced with newer versions. Versions of these data products after October 1, 2020 are still available but will […]
For information, here is a summary of the dates for which there is a probability of Megha-Tropiques geolocation anomalies, not detectable via quality flags.MGT_Geolocation…update_2021_12.csv Method reminder :Based on the existence of peaks in the assimilation data from SAPHIR at Météo-France, statistical monitoring has been set up on the CNES side to determine dates with the […]
The operating mandate of the Megha-Tropiques mission is coming to end this year. After a formal process, the CNES, based on the requests of scientists and weather agencies, decided to continue the operation of the mission for one year. The Indian space agency, ISRO, agrees to follow us and to provide the services that allow […]
The CALIPSO mission was interrupted on 28 January, 2016 because of a GPS receiver issue. The payload went back to a nominal data acquisition state on 14 March 2016. Expedited data processing and standard processing resumed on that day along with data distribution at ICARE and NASA/LaRC. Unfortunately, data loss between 28 January and 14 […]
Because of some technical issues encountered to process the satellite data stream, Megha-Tropiques Level-1 data are unavailable from 2018-11-15 to 2018-12-07. It is very unlikely that these data will be recovered.
