Aerosol Optical Properties VAP Now Available
The first plot shows the aerosol extensive property of light absorption for nominally “red,” “green,” and “blue” light over a two-week period at Ascension Island. The second plot shows the wavelength dependence of aerosol absorption—an intensive property—which describes the nature rather than the abundance of the absorption. The Aerosol Optical Properties (AOP) value-added product (VAP)…

New Aerosol Best-Estimate Data Available as Value-Added Product
Quicklook plots of monthly time series are generated for column AOD, vertical profiles up to 4 km of SSA and g, and for the corresponding RH profile. The optical properties are shown for the nominal green wavelength of 500 nm. The Aerosol Best Estimate (ABE) value-added product (VAP) provides best-estimate time series of total column…
