Summary

Description

The SeaWiFS Deep Blue Level 3 Monthly Product contains monthly global gridded (0.5 x 0.5 deg) data derived from SeaWiFS Deep Blue Level 3 daily gridded data. The primary data parameters are aerosol optical thickness, Angstrom exponent, and single scattering albedo. (The Shortname for this product is SWDB_L3M05). Parameters contained in the SeaWiFS Deep Blue (SWDB) data files include the following: aerosol_optical_thickness_550_land | aerosol optical thickness estimated at 550 nm over land | (unitless) aerosol_optical_thickness_550_land_ocean | aerosol optical thickness estimated at 550 nm over land and ocean | (unitless) aerosol_optical_thickness_550_ocean | aerosol optical thickness estimated at 550 nm over ocean | (unitless) aerosol_optical_thickness_land | aerosol optical thickness at 412 nm, 490 nm, and 670 nm over land | (unitless) aerosol_optical_thickness_ocean | aerosol optical thickness at 412 nm, 490 nm, and 670 nm over ocean | (unitless) angstrom_exponent_land | angstrom exponent over land as derived from aerosol optical thickness at 412 nm and 490 nm | (unitless) angstrom_exponent_land_ocean | angstrom exponent over land and ocean as derived from aerosol optical thickness at 412 nm and 490 nm | (unitless) angstrom_exponent_ocean | angstrom exponent over ocean as derived from aerosol optical thickness at 412 nm and 490 nm | (unitless) End of parameter information
