    • comment: Noise scale factor (NSF) for the 1064 nm channel. CALIOP does not measure the background signal level at 1064 nm, because the APD detector dark noise is dominant during both nighttime and daytime measurement. For this reason, the procedure to estimate the NSF for the 532 nm channels cannot be used for the 1064 nm channel. The 1064 nm NSF is therefore set to 0, which causes negligible error because, as above, the APD detector dark noise is the dominant error source. (Type is String)
