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 products from AATSR, using the Swansea University (SU) algorithm, version 4.21. Both daily and monthly gridded products are available.
For further details about these data products please see the documentation.
