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 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 Level 3 monthly climatology product contains monthly global climatology gridded (0.5 x 0.5 deg) data derived from SeaWiFS Deep Blue Level 3 monthly gridded data. The primary data parameters are aerosol optical thickness.

The VIIRS/SNPP Deep Blue Level 3 daily aerosol data, 1x1 degree grid, Short-name AERDB_D3_VIIRS_SNPP product is derived from the Version-2.0 (V2.0) L2 6-minute swath-based products (AERDB_L2_VIIRS_SNPP), and is provided in a 1 x 1 degree horizontal resolution grid. Each data field, in most cases, represents the arithmetic mean of all the cells whose latitude and longitude coordinates positions them within each grid element’s bounding limits. Other measures like standard deviation are also provided. This aggregated product is derived only using the best-estimate, QA-filtered retrievals. Using only cells that were measured on the day of interest, the algorithm requires at least three retrieved measurements to render a given grid as valid on any given day. This daily product record starts from March 1st, 2012 . This L3 daily product, in netCDF, contains 45 Science Data Set (SDS) layers.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_D3_VIIRS_SNPPOrConsult Deep Blue aerosol team Page at: https://deepblue.gsfc.nasa.gov

This aggregated daily product is derived from the Collection-1.1 (C1.1) L2 6-minute swath-based products (AERDB_L2_VIIRS_SNPP), and is provided in a 1degree x 1 degree horizontal resolution grid. Each data field, in most cases, represents the arithmetic mean of all the cells whose latitude and longitude coordinates positions them within each grid element’s bounding limits. Other measures like standard deviation are also provided. The AERDB_D3_VIIRS_SNPP is derived only using the best-estimate, QA-filtered retrievals. Using only cells that were measured on the day of interest, the algorithm requires at least three such day-of-interest retrieved measurements to render a given cell as valid on any given day.

The ABI G17 Deep Blue L3 Daily Aerosol Data, 1 x 1 degree grid product, short-name AERDB_D3_ABI_G17, derived from the L2 (AERDB_L2_ABI_G17) input data, each D3 ABI/GOES-17 product is produced daily at 1 x 1-degree horizontal resolution. In general, in this daily L3 (identified in the short-name as D3) aggregated product, each data field represents the arithmetic mean of all cells whose latitude and longitude places them within the bounds of each grid element. Another statistic like standard deviation is also provided in some cases. The final retrievals used in the aggregation process are Quality Assurance (QA)-filtered best-estimate values for cells that are measured on the day of interest. Further, at least three such retrievals are required to render the validity of a grid cell on any given day. This first release of these products spans from May 2019 through April 2020 with a potential to generate additional temporal coverage in the future. The Level-3 (L3) Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-17 (GOES-17) Deep Blue Daily Aerosol dataset is part of a 12-product suite produced by an Earth Science Research from Operational Geostationary Satellite Systems (ESROGSS)-funded project. The 12 products in this project include nine derived from three Geostationary Earth Observation (GEO) instruments and three from merged data from GEO and Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) instruments.The AERDB_D3_ABI_G17 product, in netCDF4 format, contains 48 Science Data Set (SDS) layers.

The VIIRS/SNPP Deep Blue Level 3 monthly aerosol data, 1x1 degree grid, Short-name AERDB_M3_VIIRS_SNPP product provides satellite-derived measurements of Aerosol Optical Thickness (AOT) and their properties over land and ocean as gridded aggregates, on a monthly basis, globally. This monthly aggregated product is derived from the Collection-1.1 (C1.1) daily L3 gridded products (AERDB_D3_VIIRS_SNPP), and is provided in a 1degree 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 monthly data to populate the monthly grid element. This monthly product collection’s record starts from March 1st 2012.
