Information Regarding GRIP LASE Images

Preliminary LASE Data Images

Aerosol data are reported as aerosol scattering ratio (the ratio of aerosol to molecular densities in the atmosphere). Water vapor data are reported as mixing ratios (g/kg) on both linear and log scales.

Resolutions of LASE data are:

VERTICAL RESOLUTION:

              
Vertical averaging nadir (meters):
    Aerosol     30
Water Vapor    330

Vertical averaging zenith (meters):            
    Aerosol      30
Water Vapor      990

HORIZONTAL RESOLUTION:

              
Horizontal averaging nadir:   
    Aerosol       9.0 seconds (~2.1 km) 
Water Vapor       180 seconds (~42  km)

Horizontal averaging zenith:       
    Aerosol       9.0 seconds (~2.1 km)
Water Vapor       300 seconds (~70  km)
