CALIPSO Data Read Software

Callable routines in Interactive Data Language (IDL) provide basic read access to CALIPSO science data files. Routines and documentation are available in both tar and zipped file bundles. The tar file includes documentation in PDF format; the zip file contains documentation in both Microsoft Word and PDF formats.

Interactive Data Language (IDL) is available from Exelis Visual Information Solutions.
