LiDAR Altitude in CALIPSO Data
Is there a script I can use to read the LiDAR altitude data stored in CALIPSO products?

Re: LiDAR Altitude in CALIPSO Data
Yes, you can can find a Lidar Altitude Data Read Routine here.
This routine demonstrates reading the lidar altitude data stored in CALIPSO Lidar Level 1B Profile, Level 2 Aerosol Profile, and Level 2 Cloud Profile products.
It is written in Interactive Data Language (IDL) and uses HDF routine calls to read the altitude data which are stored in an HDF vdata (table) structure, as described in the CALIPSO Data Products Catalog.
