Commissioning of the CALIPSO payload

SPIE Proceedings, 2007
The CALIPSO satellite launched on April 28, 2006. It successfully entered into the Aqua (A) -train of Earth observing satellites along with its co-manifested CloudSat satellite. CALIPSO includes a Payload built for NASA by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp.

CALIPSO/CALIOP Cloud Phase Discrimination Algorithm

Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology, 2009
Abstract The current cloud thermodynamic phase discrimination by Cloud-Aerosol Lidar Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) is based on the depolarization of backscattered light measured by its lidar [Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP)].

CALIPSO, des cristaux dans le ciel

La Météorologie, 2012
EnglishCALIOP is the first lidar to monitor the Earth from space autonomously and continuously. Since its laser first fired in April 2006, it has been documenting atmospheric particles: aerosols, liquid cloud droplets, ice crystals. In this article, we describe the scientific discoveries CALIOP helped make possible about atmospheric crystals: vertical ...

The CALIPSO Mission: results and progress

SPIE Proceedings, 2010
Aerosols and clouds play important roles in Earth's climate system but uncertainties over their interactions and their effects on the Earth energy budget limit our understanding of the climate system and our ability to model it. The CALIPSO satellite was developed to provide new capabilities to observe aerosol and cloud from space and to reduce ...

CaLIPSO: TMBi properties for particles detection

2012 IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium and Medical Imaging Conference Record (NSS/MIC), 2012
Trimethyl bismuth (TMBi) is a "heavy" organometallic liquid: 82% by weight of Bismuth. TMBi is a transparent and dielectric liquid that efficiently converts through the photo-electric effect photons of energies below 1 MeV. Charge and light produced in the liquid are both detected in a CaLIPSO detector. This paper focuses on the measurement of the TMBi
