The SeaWiFS Deep Blue Level 3 Monthly Climatology Product contains monthly global climatology gridded (1 x 1 deg) data derived from SeaWiFS Deep Blue Level 3 monthly gridded data. The primary data parameters are aerosol optical thickness.

The SeaWiFS Deep Blue (SWDB) Level 3 daily global gridded (0.5 x 0.5 deg) data is derived from SeaWiFS Deep Blue Level 2 data. In most cases, each data field represents the arithmetic mean of all cells whose latitude and longitude places it within the bounds of each grid element. Furthermore, only cells measured on the day of interest are included in this calculation. The local date based on the longitude of the cell is calculated from the time of measurement. If the local date equals the day of interest, the cell is included in the L3 data processing. The primary data parameters are aerosol optical thickness, and Angstrom exponent.

The SeaWiFS Deep Blue Level 3 daily global gridded (1.0 x 1.0 deg) data is derived from SeaWiFS Deep Blue Level 2 data. In most cases, each data field represents the arithmetic mean of all cells whose latitude and longitude places it within the bounds of each grid element. Furthermore, only cells measured on the day of interest are included in this calculation. The local date based on the longitude of the cell is calculated from the time of measurement. If the local date equals the day of interest, the cell is included in the L3 data processing. The primary data parameters are aerosol optical thickness, and Angstrom exponent.

The SeaWiFS Deep Blue (SWDB) Level 2 Product contains data corresponding to a single SeaWiFS swath using Deep Blue algorithm. There are about 15 Level 2 data files produced per day. Each contains retrieved aerosol properties averaged to a resolution of 3x3 SeaWiFS pixels (13.5x13.5 km at the center of the swath given 4.5km SeaWiFS pixels). The primary data parameters are aerosol optical thickness, and Angstrom exponent.

This SeaWiFS Deep Blue Level 3 monthly product contains monthly global gridded (1 x 1 deg) data derived from SeaWiFS Deep Blue Level 3 daily gridded data at the same resolution. The primary data parameters are aerosol optical thickness, and Angstrom exponent.

The VIIRS/SNPP Deep Blue Level 3 monthly aerosol data, 1x1 degree grid, Short-name AERDB_M3_VIIRS_SNPP product is derived from the Version-2.0 (V2.0) daily L3 gridded products (AERDB_D3_VIIRS_SNPP), and is provided in a 1 x 1 degree horizontal resolution grid. Arithmetic mean values from the daily L3 gridded products also provide the basis to derive a complement of statistics for the monthly aggregated products. To exclude poorly sampled grid elements, the algorithm requires at least 3 valid days’ worth of data to render a given monthly grid element as valid. This monthly product record starts from March1st, 2012. This L3 monthly product, in netCDF format, contains 45 Science Data Set (SDS) layers that are named identical to the SDSs in the daily L3 product.For more information about the product and Science Data Set (SDS) layers, consult product page at:https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/missions-and-measurements/products/AERDB_M3_VIIRS_SNPPOrConsult Deep Blue aerosol team Page at: https://deepblue.gsfc.nasa.gov
