Where to get CALIPSO L3 Aerosol Products after 7/2020

I am studying aerosol anomalies during 2020 and would like to use the CALIPSO L3 Tropospheric Aerosol Profiles, All-sky data in this analysis. Although ASDC indicates that the version 4-20 of this dataset goes from 6/2006 to present, I only files going up through 7/2020, and this is consistent through each of the following links:

https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/searc ... 2828.143!3!!
https://asdc.larc.nasa.gov/data/CALIPSO ... 4-20/2020/
https://opendap.larc.nasa.gov/opendap/C ... tents.html

I do also see that a new version (V4-21) has been released, with ASDC saying that this version covers the period from 7/2020 to present. However, the "data distribution" section of the page for this dataset (where there are usually links to access the data) is empty.
https://asdc.larc.nasa.gov/project/CALI ... 4-21_V4-21

Do you know where I can access this L3 Tropospheric Aerosol Profiles, All-sky for the period from 8/2020-12/2020? Or, if has not yet been released, do you know when it will be available?

Thank you for your interest in CALIPSO data.

Hi Cheyenne,

Thanks so much for the quick response! Since V4-21 is not yet available, any chance you know whether I can access V4-20 for the last half of 2020?

Many thanks,
Sarah
