Description
The AES product estimates the optical thickness for clear sky pixels over sea in the VIS0.6, VIS0.8 and NIR1.6 channels. In addition, the Angstrom coefficient is determined. The algorithm uses a method described by Ignatov, using pre-calculated tables to derive the relevant variables. Intermediate products are derived for every image containing information in the VIS channels. The disseminated product is a daily averaged product. Applications include numerical weather prediction, climate research and monitoring.
