ESA Aerosol Climate Change Initiative (Aerosol_cci): Images of Aerosol Absorbing Index produced by the Multi-Sensor UVAI (MS UVAI) algorithm, Version 1.7

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 images of Absorbing Aerosol Index (AAI) products, using the Multi-Sensor UVAI algorithm, Version 1.7. Images are available for monthly and climatology products. The underlying data is available as a separate product.

For further details about these data products please see the linked documentation.
