NOAA GOES-R Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 2 Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD)

Description

The GOES-R Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Aerosol Optical Depth product contains an image with pixel values identifying a measure of the extinction due to atmospheric aerosols at a wavelength of 550 nm over land and ocean. The product includes data quality information that provides an assessment of the quality of the algorithm retrievals for on-earth pixels. The aerosol optical depth value is a dimensionless quantity. The Aerosol Optical Depth product image is produced on the ABI fixed grid at 2 km resolution for Full Disk and CONUS coverage regions from GOES East and West. Product data is produced under the following conditions: Clear sky; snow-free; Geolocated source data to local zenith angles of 90 degrees, to solar zenith angles of 90 degrees, and sunglint angles greater than 40 degrees when over the ocean.
