Climatology Meteorology Atmosphere
EarthCARE/CPR/EarthCARE_CPR L1B received power dataset is obtained from the Cloud Profiling Radar (CPR) sensor onboard Earth Cloud Aerosol and Radiation Explorer (EarthCARE) Satellite and produced by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA).EarthCARE Satellite carries four observation sensors: the Cloud Profiling Radar(CPR), the Atmospheric Lidar(ATLID), the Multi-Spectral Imager(MSI), and the Broadband Radiometer(BBR). The main purpose of EarthCARE to globally observe the distribution and vertical structure of clouds and aerosols, as well as the radiant energy at the top of the atmosphere. This project aims to contribute to improving the accuracy of climate change prediction by considering the behavior of clouds and aerosols and their impact on the Earth's climate, incorporating the obtained knowledge into numerical climate models, and constraining the large uncertainties in cloud-aerosol-radiation interactions within numerical climate models. EarthCARE Satellite was launched on 28/05/2024(UTC).EarthCARE Satellite can observe a range from approximately 90 degrees south latitude to approximately 90 degrees north latitude, and flies in a sun-synchronous subrecurrent orbit (number of return days: 25 days) at an altitude of approximately 400 km. The vertial resolution of CPR is approximately 500m.In CPR level 1B standard processing, a level 1 product is read as input data, and the product outputs data containing a received echo power, radar reflectivity factor, NRCS (normalized surface scattering cross section), doppler velocity, spectrum width, and data flag and geometric information, such as observation positions. During the course of processing, radiometric correction is carried out, missing data is processed based on missing data information, scan time is corrected and geometric calculation of the time, latitude, longitude, and height of each piece of scan data in each range bin is performed.The file format is HDF5, but it's compatible with NetCDF4. It is divided into header and science data sections. The sampling resolution is 500 m (horizontal) and 500 m (vertical). The generation unit is 1/8 orbit(1 frame).

This EarthCARE collection is restricted, and contains the following data products:
· Level 0: Annotated Raw Instrument Source Packets
These packets contain unprocessed data as generated by EarthCARE's instruments, annotated with basic metadata in front of each packet.
· Level 1b: Fully Calibrated and Geolocated Instrument Measurements
Level 1b products are fully processed, calibrated, and geolocated measurements from EarthCARE's instruments. Each measurement is aligned with the native instrument grid. For the Broadband Radiometer (BBR), measurements are also spatially integrated to various ground pixel sizes.
· Level 1c (MSI only): MSI Level 1b Data Interpolated to a Common Spatial Grid
Specifically for the Multi-Spectral Imager (MSI), Level 1c data involves interpolating Level 1b measurements onto a standardized spatial grid that is consistent across all MSI bands. This grid closely matches the spacing used in MSI Level 1b data.
· Level 1d: Joint Standard Grid (JSG) for All Instruments and ECMWF Meteorological Fields.
Level 1d data provide a spatial grid to enable easy collocation and synergistic use of the data from all EarthCARE instruments, named the "joint standard grid." Additionally, this level incorporates ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) meteorological fields limited to the EarthCARE swath, enabling comprehensive analysis and modelling of atmospheric conditions within the satellite's coverage area.
