The GCM‐Oriented CALIPSO Cloud Product (CALIPSO‐GOCCP)
Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 2010 This article presents the GCM‐Oriented Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) Cloud Product (GOCCP) designed to evaluate the cloudiness simulated by general circulation models (GCMs). For this purpose, Cloud‐Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization L1 data are processed following the same steps as in a lidar ...
