Vertical Profiles of Mineral Dust Aerosols from IASI (MAPIR algorithm version 5.11)
Description
The data are vertical profiles of mineral dust aerosols from IASI (Metop-A and Metop-C) obtained with the Mineral Aerosol Profiling from Infrared Radiances (MAPIR) version 5.1 algorithm. This data set version 5.11 is an update with a bug correction in the dust AOD calculation from the vertical profile, and in the dust AOD uncertainty calculation from the profile uncertainty covariances matrices. The retrieval algorithm itself has not changed since version 5.1.
The data available here is the level 2 data (at satellite pixel resolution).
Level 3 (gridded daily and monthly AM, PM and total) total column AOD and mean altitude are available through the Climate Data Store (https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu). Search for "dust", select "Aerosol properties gridded data from 1995 to present derived from satellite observations", in the download tab, select the sensor IASI on METOPA or METOPC and the MAPIR algorithm.
