Ali Omar,David M. Winker,Mark A. Vaughan,Yongxiang Hu,Charles R. Trepte,Richard Ferrare,Kam-Pui Lee,Chris A. Hostetler,Chieko Kittaka,Raymond R. Rogers,Ralph Kuehn,Zhaoyan Liu +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the extinction-to-backscatter ratio (lidar ratio) selection scheme for the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) aerosol products is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fully Automated Detection of Cloud and Aerosol Layers in the CALIPSO Lidar Measurements
Mark A. Vaughan,Kathleen A. Powell,Ralph Kuehn,Stuart A. Young,David M. Winker,Chris A. Hostetler,William H. Hunt,Zhaoyan Liu,Matthew J. McGill,Brian Getzewich +9 more
TL;DR: An in-depth overview of the architecture and performance of the SIBYL algorithm is provided, which accomplishes its goals by integrating an adaptive context-sensitive profile scanner into an iterated multiresolution spatial averaging scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
The CALIPSO Lidar Cloud and Aerosol Discrimination: Version 2 Algorithm and Initial Assessment of Performance
Zhaoyan Liu,Mark A. Vaughan,David M. Winker,Chieko Kittaka,Brian Getzewich,Ralph Kuehn,Ali Omar,Kathleen A. Powell,Charles R. Trepte,Chris A. Hostetler +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the theoretical basis of the CALIPSO lidar cloud and aerosol discrimination (CAD) algorithm is reviewed and enhancements made to the version 2 algorithm that is used in the current data release (release 2).
Journal ArticleDOI
Airborne High Spectral Resolution Lidar for profiling aerosol optical properties
Johnathan W. Hair,Chris A. Hostetler,Anthony L. Cook,David B. Harper,Richard Ferrare,Terry L. Mack,Wayne Welch,Luis Ramos Izquierdo,Floyd Hovis +8 more
TL;DR: The design of the airborne HSRL, the internal calibration and accuracy of the instrument, data products produced, and observations and calibration data from the first two field missions are discussed.

Sharon P. Burton,Richard Ferrare,Chris A. Hostetler,J. W. Hair,R. R. Rogers,Michael D. Obland,Carolyn F. Butler,A. L. Cook,David B. Harper,Karl D. Froyd +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a methodology based on observations of known aerosol types is used to qualitatively classify the extensive set of airborne high-spectral resolution lidar measurements into eight separate types.
