ESA Aerosol Climate Change Initiative (Aerosol CCI): Level 3 aerosol climatology products (MS UVAI algorithm), Version 1.4.7
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 monthly Absorbing Aerosol Index (AAI) climatology products, using the Multi-Sensor UVAI algorithm, Version 1.4.7.
For further details about these data products please see the linked documentation.
