The GSFC Lidar Observation and Validation Experiment (GLOVE) will take place January/February 2025 based out of Edwards Air Force Base in California. Utilizing the NASA ER-2 outfit with the Cloud Physics Lidar (CPL), Roscoe, enhanced MODIS Airborne Simulator (eMAS), and Cloud Radar System (CRS), GLOVE will (1) validate new ICESat-2 atmospheric data products, (2) validate EarthCARE lidar, radar, spectrometer data products, and (3) test new Roscoe receiver alignment.
NOTICE: Access to CPL data is not restricted. However, we do ask that everyone read and abide by the CPL data usage policy found here: CPL data usage policy. In addition, please bear in mind that satellite teams have their own data usage policies, and they should be contacted before use or publication of validation data.
