Global Aerosol Climatology from ICESat-2 Lidar Observations

Global Aerosol Climatology from ICESat-2 Lidar Observations

This study presents a global aerosol climatology derived from six years (October 2018–October 2024) of the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) observations, using a U-Net Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) machine learning algorithm for Cloud–Aerosol Discrimination (CAD). Despite I...
