Abstract

ATLID stands for “ATmospheric LIDar” and is the lidar to be flown on the Earth Clouds and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) platform in early 2019. ATLID is a High-Spectral Resolution (HSRL) system operating at 355nm. This presentation will introduce the ATLID level-2 retrieval algorithms being implemented in order to derive cloud and aerosol optical properties
