CALIPSO negative attenuated backscatter

by EarthdataForumContributor » Thu Jan 02, 2020 12:45 pm America/New_York

Why are there negative attenuated backscatter values in the L1 lidar data? (Aren't these values completely non-physical???) Are these negative values removed before calculating the Level 2 Column Integrated Backscatter?
