Data for aerosol monitoring and forecasting

DAP_MG4-5_03

Atmospheric composition analysis and forecast. Data to be used for assimilation of aerosol optical depth for near-real-time atmospheric composition analysis and forecast and for reanalyses.

This dataset will be built using instruments from
Mission Group 4: Geostationary Atmospheric Monitoring, Mission Group 5: Low Earth Orbit Atmospheric Monitoring and Mission Group 3: Medium-Resolution Land & Ocean Monitoring
Imaging multi-spectral radiometers (VIS/NIR) &multiple direction/polarisation radiometers
