APPRAISE ADIENT: Along Track Scanning Radiometer, Version 2 (ATSR 2) Monthly Data
Abstract
The objective of the ADIENT (Appraising the Direct Impacts of aErosol oN climaTe) project was quantifying the direct effect of aerosols on the Earth's radiation budget, via scattering and/or absorption of radiation.
This monthly data is a subset of the GlobAEROSOL climatology from the Along Track Scanning Radiometer (ATSR) instrument on-board ERS-2, data. It spans the period 1 July 1995 to 10 July 2009.
The dataset contains measurements of the following parameters over the globe:
Aerosol optical thickness due to aerosol
Angstrom Coefficient average,
Aerosol speciation (from a selection of 5 pre-defined types:maritime, continental, desert, urban/polluted and biomass burning).
