LIVAS-plots

This is a utility for plotting LIVAS files, currently it supports only per-orbit files but we would like to extend it to support the per-grid files as well.

Usage

The script is called from the command line and takes two arguments, the file to plot and where to write the output PNG files:

livas_plots LIVAS_CALIPSO_L2_Orbit_2015-09-23T22-26-37ZN.nc ./plots

There are some optional arguments to change the visible altitude range and/or display a smaller part of the file (spatially). You can access more info about these through the included help:

livas_plots --help

Supported plots

Per-grid

Name Variable path Notes
Feature type CALIPSO_Flags_and_Auxiliary/Flags/AVD_Feature_Type
Aerosol subtype CALIPSO_Flags_and_Auxiliary/Flags/AVD_Aerosol_Subtype Will also show Cloud/Totally attenuated bins from Feature Type array
Raw Backscatter Coefficient 532nm CALIPSO_Optical_Products/Total_Backscatter_Coefficient_532
Backscatter Coefficient 532nm, smoothed ±1 bin LIVAS/CALIPSO_Optical_Products_Smoothed/Altitudinally_Smoothed_by_180m/Backscatter_Coefficient_532
