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 Level 2 aerosol products from the AATSR instrument on ENVISAT, derived using the ADV algorithm, version 2.31. Data is available for the period 2002-2012.
For further details about these data products please see the linked documentation.
