CALIGOLA: A New Spaceborne Lidar Mission Agenzia Spaziale Italiana (ASI) and NASA are partnering on an exciting new spaceborne lidar mission known as CALIGOLA (i.e., the Cloud and Aerosol Lidar for Global Scale observations of the Ocean-Land-Atmosphere) that seeks to significantly advance our understanding of Earth’s coupled ocean-land-atmosphere systems. By flying an innovative multi ...
CALIGOLA, which stands for C loud A erosol LI DAR for G lobal Scale O bservations of the Ocean- L and A tmosphere System, aims at collecting an unprecedented observational dataset capable to generate increasing scientific knowledge in the areas of atmospheric, aquatic, terrestrial, cryospheric and hydrological sciences.
CALIGOLA will also allow accurate measurements of the small-scale variability of the Earth’s surface elevation, primarily associated with variations in the terrain, vegetation, and forest canopy ...
