OMI/Aura Level 2 Near UV Aerosol Optical Depth and Single Scattering Albedo 200-m swath subset along CloudSat track V003 (OMAERUV_CPR) at GES DISC

Description

This is a CloudSat-collocated subset of the original OMI product OMAERUV, for the purposes of the A-Train mission. The goal of the subset is to select and return OMI data that are within +/-100 km across the CloudSat track. The resultant OMI subset swath is sought to be about 200 km cross-track of CloudSat. This product also contains many ancillary and derived parameters, terrain and geolocation information, solar and satellite viewing angles, and quality flags. Even though collocated with CloudSat, this subset can serve many other A-Train applications. (The shortname for this CloudSat-collocated OMI Level 2 near-UV aerosol subset is OMAERUV_CPR_003)
