Effects of solar activity on noise in CALIOP profiles above the South Atlantic Anomaly

Effects of solar activity on noise in CALIOP profiles above the South Atlantic Anomaly

We show that nighttime dark noise measurements from the spaceborne lidar CALIOP contain valuable information about the evolution of upwelling high-energy radiation levels. Above the South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), CALIOP dark noise levels fluctuate by ±6% between 2006 and 2013, and follow the known an...
