Feature Classification Flag data longitude issue
Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2023 3:18 pm America/New_York
Hello everyone!
I downloaded data from CALIOP (Lidar Level 2 Vertical Feature Mask), (VFM), on CALIPSO and I have a doubt in the Layout of the Feature Classification Flag data block, I need to select data for a particular latitude and longitude, the data is close to the longitude point I need but I have it in degrees not in meters, so I don't know which of the 15 profiles I should select. I understand that each sample per profile in the horizontal dimension, each profile corresponds to 333 m and the total to 5 km but how can I know which one corresponds to those 333m in degrees of longitude? Does anyone know how to change those meters to degrees of longitude? Thank you!
