• Validation of aerosol and cloud layer structures from the space-borne lidar CALIOP using a ground-based lidar in Seoul, Korea (2008, background): “While the CALIOP transmitter emits polarized light at both 1064 and 532 nm with a pulse energy of 110 mJ and a pulse repetition rate of 20.25 Hz, polarization discrimination in the receiver is only done for the 532 nm channel (Winker et al., 2004, 2007).”
• Global Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) cloud detection and height evaluation using CALIOP (2008, methodology): “…measures linear depolarization ratios at 532 nm, using polarization sensitive optics in the receiver to separate the backscattered radiation into components perpendicular and parallel to the polarization vector of the linearly polarized output of the laser transmitter [Winker et al., 2004, 2007].”
• Aerosol Properties and Processes: A Path from Field and Laboratory Measurements to Global Climate Models (2007, background): “Retrievals from the recently launched CloudSat (Stephens et al. 2002) and CALIOP (Winker et al. 2004) instruments are systematically providing vertical profiles from space of clouds (by radar; information online at www.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/) and of aerosols (by lidar; information online at ww”
• Cloud ice: A climate model challenge with signs and expectations of progress (2007, methodology): “CALIPSO [16] The A-train also includes the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) instrument that is also expected to provide estimates of IWC based on lidar backscatter [Vaughan et al., 2004; Winker et al., 2004].”
• A Multisensor Perspective on the Radiative Impacts of Clouds and Aerosols (2013, methodology): “…2B-FLXHR algorithm by including coincident observations from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) instrument on CALIPSO (Winker et al. 2004, 2007) and the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboardAqua to improve constraints on cloud and aerosol…”
