Hydrometeor Detection Using Cloudsat—An Earth-Orbiting 94-GHz Cloud Radar (2008, background): “At times, the Cloudsat radar is fully attenuated, or attenuated to the point where multiple scattering dominates the measured return power (Mace et al. 2007).”
Tropical composition, cloud and climate coupling experiment validation for cirrus cloud profiling retrieval using cloudsat radar and CALIPSO lidar (2010, methodology): “The 2B‐GEOPROF lidar (cloud geometrical profile from combined CPR and CALIPSO lidar [Mace et al., 2009]) data is produced by combining the 2B‐GEOPROF data product [Mace et al., 2007] and collocated CALIPSO lidar data to determine the vertical locations of cloud layers.”
CloudSat mission: Performance and early science after the first year of operation (2008, methodology): “[26] The 1B-CPR product provides calibrated sensorlevel information expressed in terms of the reflectivity quantities discussed in section 3. The second main product is the 2B-GEOPROF [ Mace et al., 2007 ] derived from the 1B-CPR.”
Comparison of AIRS, MODIS, CloudSat and CALIPSO cloud top height retrievals (2007, methodology): “CloudSat’s 1B CPR standard product (radar backscatter profiles) is combined with auxiliary MODIS and ECMWF (European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) data to produce the 2B-GEOPROF CPR Cloud Mask product (reprocessing version 3, epoch 1) at 1.1 km horizontal and 240 m vertical resolution t”
