Data files

Our friends from Earlinet have provided datasets for us to try our algorithms.

Pablo Ristori (Ceilap - Argetina) also provided a simulated dataset. This is more complicated as it includes clouds and aerosols. Input is only available for 355nm at the moment. Two versions are available:

Data format

The output of your algorithms should produce simple ascii files without header and columns separated by TAB with the following columns:

  1. height = m
  2. backscatter = 1/Mm / sr
  3. extinction = 1/Mm
  4. lidar ratio = sr
  5. molecular backscatter = 1/Mm / sr (step 3)
  6. molecular extinction = 1/Mm (step 3)
  7. synthetic molecular signal = 1/m / sr /m2 (step 3)
