CALIPSO Science Objectives Animation
Scientists are eager to use CALIPSO data to study the nature of the atmosphere. Using lidar and a pair of infrared and visible imaging systems, CALIPSO promises to deliver new insights into how clouds and aerosols work to affect the atmosphere.

This animation illustrates how CALIPSO captures data to study the nature of the atmosphere.    This animation illustrates how CALIPSO captures data to study the nature of the atmosphere.
