PACE SPEXone Level-3 Global Mapped Aerosol Optical Properties, RemoTAP Algorithm Data, version 3.0

The suite includes variables for characterizing aerosol loading, size, and absorption. Use AER_RTAP for air-quality and climate studies, aerosol context for ocean-color atmospheric correction, and model evaluation.

Geophysical variables in this suite include: - angstrom_440_670 — Aerosol Ångström exponent, 440–670 nm (unitless) - aot — Aerosol optical thickness (unitless) - fmf — Aerosol fine mode fraction (unitless) - fvf — Aerosol fine mode volume fraction (unitless) - lidar_bsca_total — Aerosol lidar backscatter coefficient (sr⁻¹ m⁻¹) - lidar_depol_ratio — Aerosol lidar depolarization ratio (unitless) - lidar_p11_pi — Aerosol phase function p11 at backscatter direction (unitless) - mi — Aerosol refractive index, imaginary part (unitless) - mr — Aerosol refractive index, real part (unitless) - reff_coarse — Aerosol effective radius, coarse mode (µm) - reff_fine — Aerosol effective radius, fine mode (µm) - ssa — Aerosol single scattering albedo (unitless)
