LITE Data Access and Tools

Data from NASA’s Lidar In-Space Technology Experiment (LITE) provides measurements on clouds, tropospheric and stratospheric aerosols, characteristics of the planetary boundary layer, stratospheric density and temperature perturbations, and to some degree, surface topography. Explore LITE datasets and relevant data tools.
