Abstract
The Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) is a two-wavelength polarisation-sensitive lidar which creates high-resolution vertical profiles of cloud and aerosol. The lidar uses 1064 nm to measure backscatter intesity, and two channels measuring orthogonally polarised components of the 532 nm backscatter signal.
