Bronze level automatically awarded US beta

This data has achieved Bronze level on 23 October 2015 which means this data makes a great start at the basics of publishing open data.

OMI/Aura Near UV Aerosol Optical Depth and Single Scattering Albedo Daily L3 Global 1x1 deg Lat/Lon Grid V003

Description

The OMI-Aura level-3 daily global gridded (1x1 deg) near-UV Aerosol data product OMAERUVd based on the enhanced algorithm is available from the NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Services Center (GES DISC), http://disc.gsfc.nasa.gov/Aura/OMI/omaeruvd_v003.shtml This Level-3 daily global gridded product OMAERUVd is produced from the pixel level OMI Level-2 Aerosol data product OMAERUV. The OMAERUV data product is based on the enhanced TOMS version-8 algorithm that essentially uses the ultraviolet radiance data. OMI provides two aerosol products OMAERUV and OMAERO at the pixel resolution (13 x 24 km at nadir) that are based on two different algorithms. The OMAERUVd data product contains extinction and absorption optical depths at three wavelenghts (355 nm, 388 nm and 500 nm). OMAERUVd data product is a Level-3 gridded product where all data pixels that fall in a grid box are quality filtered and then averaged. The GES DISC developed interactive tool Giovanni (http://giovanni.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ) provides web based capabilities to browse and explore these data. (The shortname for this Level-3 Global Gridded near-UV Aerosol Product is OMAERUVd_V003) OMAERUVd files are stored in EOS Hierarchical Data Format (HDF-EOS5). Each file contains daily data from approximately 15 orbits. The maximum file size for the OMTO3G data product is about 0.2 Mbytes.
