This release contains new diagnostics for the Calipso Lidar simulator, while also introducing two new Lidar simulators.

New features in COSPv2.1:

  1. Calipso opaque-cloud diagnostics (See Guzman et al. https://doi.org/10.1002/2016JD025946)
  2. Earthcare ATmospheric LIDar (atlid) simulator (See Reverdy et al. 2015 https://doi.org/10.1002/2015JD023919).
  3. Ground-based lidar simulator @ 532nm (See Chiriaco et al. 2018 https://doi.org/10.5194/essd-10-919-2018)

For information on all of these new diagnostics, see Documentation_COSPv2.1.pdf
Documentation_COSPv2.1.pdf

Notes:
The new opaque cloud diagnostics are built upon the existing Calipso Lidar simulator (see Chepfer et al. https://doi.org/10.1029/2008GL034207). The two new lidar simulators leverage existing code from the Calipso Lidar simulator, configured appropriately for the platform (e.g. viewing direction, frequency, etc...).
