Re: Vertical Feature Mask Classification Extraction
You can use the routine, found here.
This routine demonstrates extraction of the feature type information stored in a CALIPSO Lidar Level 2 Vertical Feature Mask feature classification flag value.
It is written in Interactive Data Language (IDL) as a callable procedure that receives as an argument a 16-bit feature classification flag value and prints the feature type information extracted from the bits in the flag value, as described in the CALIPSO Data Products Catalog.
