Hi Hamed,

It is a bit strange your file is 2014-06-13 22:05:53 - 22:12:07, I could
only find CAL_LID_L1-ValStage1-V3-30.2014-06-13T22-02-33ZN.hdf, which is
22:02:33 - 22:49:00. But anyway...

To make a basic plot use a command like this:

ccplot -o 1.pdf -x +0:00..+3:30 -c calipso-backscatter.cmap calipso532 1.hdf

The two most important things you want to tune are:

- The subset you want to plot with the `-x` option (here subset between
0min and 3min 30s relative to start). Supported format for `-x` is in
the manual page[1].

- The dataset (here `calipso532` - "CALIPSO L1B Total Attenuated
Backscatter 532nm") and the right colormap (here
`calipso-backscatter.cmap`). A list of datasets is in the manual
page[1], and a list of colormaps is on page 56 of [2].

Please try to follow the tutorial in Chapter 6 of Visualising Data from
CloudSat and CALIPSO Satellites.

Note that you don't have to enter the full path to a colormap as in the
examples, i.e. use `-c cloudsat-reflectivity.cmap` instead of `-c
/usr/share/ccplot/cmap/cloudsat-reflectivity.cmap` (this would not work
on Windows).

If you still have any problems after reading the tutorial, feel free to ask.

Good luck!

Regards,

Peter
