| 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 3 Absorbing Aerosol Index (AAI) products, using the Multi-Sensor UVAI algorithm, Version 1.7. L3 products are provided as daily and monthly gridded products as well as a monthly climatology. For further details about these data products please see the linked documentation. |
