CL61 is able to report the following vertical profiles:
- Parallel-polarized attenuated backscatter profile (PPOL)
- Cross-polarized attenuated backscatter profile (XPOL)
- Total attenuated backscatter profile (ABS = PPOL + XPOL)
- Depolarization ratio profile (LDR = XPOL / PPOL)
Profiles are reported at 4.8 m (15.75 ft) height intervals.
LDR varies between 0 and 1.
Averaging time can be adjusted. For more information, see the instructions about configuring netCDF reporting.
