The file name of the 5 km layer products would seem to indicate that features are reported at 5 km, but in those files there are features reported at 20 and 80 km, what's up with that?

CALIPSO cloud layers
I have discovered, at least in the 5 km cloud layer files, that the top of the second cloud layer is often higher than the bottom of the first (top) layer. Can you explain to me what this means?

CALIPSO negative attenuated backscatter
Why are there negative attenuated backscatter values in the L1 lidar data? (Aren't these values completely non-physical???) Are these negative values removed before calculating the Level 2 Column Integrated Backscatter?
