ESA Precursors for Aerosols and Ozone Climate Change Initiative (Precursors_cci): monthly L3 SO2 from GOME, version 1.0
Abstract
The Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Climate Data Record (CDR) product is a Level 3 SO2 product developed by using satellite data from the Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment (GOME) instrument (on European Remote-sensing Satellite - 2 (ERS-2)) as part of the ESA Climate Change Initiative (CCI) Precursors for Aerosols and Ozone project.
This dataset provides gridded SO2 column densities of monthly 1°x 1° resolution grids from April 1996 to June 2003. The L3 product is based on the Level 2 SO2 product created for the Precursors_cci project. The air mass factors have been reprocessed using the CAMS Reanalysis Model for the a priori vertical profiles. In addition to the main product results, such as SO2 slant column, vertical column and air mass factor, the Level 3 data files contain several additional parameters and diagnostic information such as uncertainties, a priori profiles and averaging kernels. Data are available in NetCDF format.
The European Space Agency (ESA) Precursors for Aerosol and Ozone Climate Change Initiative (Precursors CCI) project is part of ESA's Climate Change Initiative (CCI) to produce long term datasets of Essential Climate Variables derived from global satellite data (https://climate.esa.int/en/projects/precursors-for-aerosols-and-ozone/).
