CALIPSO validation flights
Experiment Information:
These flights in July 2009 are intended to validate the calibration algorithms for the CALIPSO. The Cloud Physics Lidar is a primary validation tool for the CALIPSO lidar. The validation mission is based out of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base is Dayton, Ohio.
Payload for the validation mission includes the Cloud Physics Lidar (CPL), and the Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS).

NOTICE: Access to CPL data is not restricted. However, we do ask that everyone read and abide by the CPL data usage policy found here: CPL data usage policy. In addition, please bear in mind that satellite teams have their own data usage policies, and they should be contacted before use or publication of validation data.
To inquire about data processing or data availability for the CPL dataset,
please contact Mr. Dennis Hlavka or Mr. William Hart
See 'contacts' page for more information
Matt McGill is the
Principal Investigator for the CPL data
