Abstract
This paper presents recent developments associated with the application of cloud and aerosol retrieval approaches, originally developed for the EarthCARE lidar ATLID, to ALADIN data. These two algorithms are AEL-FM and AEL-PRO. AEL-FM provides a “feature-mask” based on ALADIN crosstalk corrected pure particulate (“Mie”) and molecular (“Rayleigh”) attenuated backscatter profiles. These two algorithms have been added to the AEOLUS Level 2A operational processor. In this paper. AEL-FM and AEL-PRO are briefly described, and some representative recent results are presented and discussed.
