VIIRS/SNPP Deep Blue Level 3 daily aerosol data, 1 degree x 1 degree grid

Published by NASA/GSFC/SED/ESD/HBSL/BISB/LAADS;UWI-MAD/SSEC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: August 26, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-08-07
The VIIRS/SNPP Deep Blue Level 3 daily aerosol data, 1x1 degree grid, Short-name AERDB_D3_VIIRS_SNPP product is derived from the Version-2.0 (V2.0) L2 6-minute swath-based products (AERDB_L2_VIIRS_SNPP), and is provided in a 1 x 1 degree horizontal resolution grid. Each data field, in most cases, represents the arithmetic mean of all the cells whose latitude and longitude coordinates positions them within each grid element’s bounding limits. Other measures like standard deviation are also provided. This aggregated product is derived only using the best-estimate, QA-filtered retrievals. Using only cells that were measured on the day of interest, the algorithm requires at least three retrieved measurements to render a given grid as valid on any given day. This daily product record starts from March 1st, 2012 . This L3 daily product, in netCDF, contains 45 Science Data Set (SDS) layers.For more information about the product and Science Data Set (SDS) layers, consult product page at:https://ladsweb.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/missions-and-measurements/products/AERDB_D3_VIIRS_SNPPOrConsult Deep Blue aerosol team Page at: https://deepblue.gsfc.nasa.gov
