Abstract
The ESA Climate Change Initiative Aerosol project has produced a number of global aerosol Essential Climate Variable (ECV) products from a set of European satellite instruments with different characteristics.
This dataset comprises the Level 3 aerosol daily and monthly gridded products from MERIS for 2008, using the ALAMO algorithm, version 2.2. The data have been provided by Hygeos.
For further details about these data products please see the linked documentation.
