Exploiting the favourable alignment of CALIPSO's descending orbital tracks over Sweden to study aerosol characteristics

One of the key knowledge gaps when estimating aerosol forcing and their role in air quality is our limited understanding of their vertical distribution. As an active lidar in space, the CALIOP-CALIPSO is helping to close this gap. The descending orbital track of CALIPSO follows elongated semi-major...
