Description

The VIIRS/JPSS1 Aerosol Daily L3 Global 0.05 Deg CMG, Short-name VJ104ANC product provides VIIRS aerosol, air temperature, ozone and water vapor data at 0.05-degree resolution. This product is based on a Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) for the purpose of being used in climate simulation models. This is derived by using a weighted average of the best quality observation form only daytime data from Level 2 product, VJ104_L2.
This daily product record starts from January 5th, 2018. This L3 daily product, in HDF5 file format , contains 5 Science Data Set (SDS) layers.
