Cloud and EarthCARE caL/vaL Observations

Overall objectives of the CELLO campaigns

  1. Provide in-situ calibration and validation (cal/val) data for the EarthCARE mission scientists and product development team in a range of cloudy environments and temperature regimes.

  2. Collocate the EarthCARE correlative observations with overflights of ground-based remote sensing sites whenever possible.

The collocations with the ground-based remote sensing sites will ultimately provide a much more comprehensive cal/val dataset than ascertainable by any single measurement platform.
