The Retrieval of Profiles of Particulate Extinction fromCloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations(CALIPSO) Data: Uncertainty and Error Sensitivity Analyses

摘要: AbstractProfiles of atmospheric cloud and aerosol extinction coefficients are retrieved on a global scale from measurements made by the lidar board Cloud–Aerosol Lidar Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations (CALIPSO) mission since mid-June 2006. This paper presents an analysis how uncertainties in inputs to retrieval algorithm propagate as proceeds downward lower levels atmosphere. The mathematical analyses, which being used calculate reported current (version 3) data release, supported figures illustrating both simulated actual data. Equations also derived that describe sensitivity errors profile calibration ratios retrievals. Biases could potentially result low signal-to-noise examined. Using data, propagation bias resulting f...
