  • The Level 2A aerosol/cloud optical products of the Aeolus mission include geo-located consolidated backscatter and extinction profiles, backscatter-to-extinction coefficient, LIDAR ratio, scene classification, heterogeneity index and attenuated backscatter signals. Resolution - Horizontal resolution of L2A optical properties at observation scale (~87 km); Exceptions are group properties (horizontal accumulation of measurements from ~3 km to ~87 km) and attenuated backscatters (~3 km); Note: the resolution of "groups" in the L2A can only go down to 5 measurements at the moment, i.e. ~15 km horizontal resolution. This could be configured to go to 1 measurement - Vertical resolution 250-2000 m (Defined by Range Bin Settings https://earth.esa.int/eogateway/instruments/aladin/overview-of-the-main-wind-rbs-changes).
