Dataset
Summary
CBASE provides two files for each CALIOP VFM input file: one using a 40 km window to detect the cloud field base height, and one using a 100 km window. (The input CALIOP VFM dataset is organized by the daytime/nighttime half of each orbit.) The file name pattern is
CBASE<resolution>_<date>T<time><day/night>.nc (identical to the input
CALIOP VFM file name with the exception of the product name). Files are organized into subdirectories by half-orbit start date.
