4 PARTICIPANTS WILL DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT THE INITIAL WORK FRAME OF THE OCO2 AND CALIPSO AEROSOL RETRIEVAL ALGORITHM. THE PARTICIPANTS WILL FURTHER TEST AND IMPROVE THE AEROSOL RETRIEVAL ALGORITHM. THE AEROSOL RETREIVAL ALGORITHM WILL GENERATE A RESEARCH PRODUCT OF AEROSOL ABSORPTION AND EXTINCTION OPTICAL DEPTHS AT 765 NM. THIS RESEARCH PRODUCT WILL SERVE AS AN INDEPENDENT DATASET TO THE OTHER AEROSOL ABSORPTION MEASUREMENTS, WHICH ARE MOSTLY DEPENDENT ON THE AERONET PRODUCT. RESEARCH PRODUCTS WILL BE PRODUCED THROUGH THE CALIPSO DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM TO THE EXTENT THAT THE ALGORITHM DOES NOT INTERFERE WITH STANDARD DATA PROCESSING ACTIVITIES. THE RESEARCH PRODUCTS WILL BE EVALUATED AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE OCO-2 SCIENCE TEAM TO HELP FOR THE VALIDATION ACTIVITIES.
