The Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS) was launched aboard the Ice Cloud and land-Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) satellite in September 2018. ATLAS is a single wavelength (532 nm) lidar system designed to acquire high resolution measurements of the earth's surface while also obtaining atmospheric backscatter from molecules, clouds, and aerosols. Because ATLAS is optimized for altimetry, the atmospheric data acquired is unique in many respects and requires non-standard analysis techniques. For example, the high repetition rate laser limits the vertical extent of the profiles to just 14 km and causes atmospheric scattering from above 15 km to be added to the scattering in the lower 0–14 km profile. In addition, the limited vertical range of the acquired profiles renders it difficult to compute the magnitude of the solar background and hinders the application of standard calibration techniques. Despite these limitations, methods have been developed to successfully produce data products that have value to the atmospheric community for cloud and aerosol research and are currently available at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC). In this paper we describe the ICESat-2 atmospheric channel and the methods used to process the ATLAS raw photon count data to obtain calibrated backscatter and higher level products such as layer heights and type, blowing snow, column optical depth and apparent surface reflectance.

ICESat-2 大气通道描述、数据处理和初步结果

高级地形激光高度计系统 (ATLAS) 于 2018 年 9 月在冰云和陆地高程卫星 2 (ICESat-2) 卫星上发射。 ATLAS 是一种单波长 (532 nm) 激光雷达系统,旨在获取高分辨率测量值地球表面,同时还从分子、云和气溶胶获得大气反向散射。由于 ATLAS 针对测高进行了优化,因此获取的大气数据在许多方面都是独一无二的,并且需要非标准的分析技术。例如,高重复率激光将剖面的垂直范围限制为仅 14 公里,并导致 15 公里以上的大气散射被添加到较低的 0-14 公里剖面中的散射中。此外,所获取剖面的有限垂直范围使得计算太阳背景的幅度变得困难,并阻碍了标准校准技术的应用。尽管存在这些限制,但已经开发出一些方法来成功地生产对大气界对云和气溶胶研究有价值的数据产品,并且目前可在国家冰雪数据中心 (NSIDC) 获得。在本文中,我们描述了 ICESat-2 大气通道和用于处理 ATLAS 原始光子计数数据以获得校准后向散射和更高级别产品的方法,例如层高和类型、吹雪、柱光学深度和表观表面反射率。已经开发出一些方法来成功地生产对大气界对云和气溶胶研究有价值的数据产品,目前可在国家冰雪数据中心 (NSIDC) 获得。在本文中,我们描述了 ICESat-2 大气通道和用于处理 ATLAS 原始光子计数数据以获得校准后向散射和更高级别产品的方法,例如层高和类型、吹雪、柱光学深度和表观表面反射率。已经开发出一些方法来成功地生产对大气界对云和气溶胶研究有价值的数据产品,目前可在国家冰雪数据中心 (NSIDC) 获得。在本文中,我们描述了 ICESat-2 大气通道和用于处理 ATLAS 原始光子计数数据以获得校准后向散射和更高级别产品的方法,例如层高和类型、吹雪、柱光学深度和表观表面反射率。
