CALIPSO Data
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/94.023

Summary
A link to the NASA/LaRC Atmospheric Science Data Center CALIPSO (Cloud-Aerosol
Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations) data archive. CALIPSO
provides information on the altitude of aerosol layers in the atmosphere. The
CALIPSO satellite comprises three instruments, the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with
Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP Lidar), the Imaging Infrared Radiometer (IIR),
and the Wide Field Camera (WFC).
