Aerosol assimilation data set in Pan third polar region (2015-2017)- A Big Earth Data Platform for Three Poles

1) The optical depth, vertical mass concentration and extinction coefficient of dust, sulfate, organic carbon, black carbon and sea salt aerosols and total aerosols were measured;

2) Data source: numerical simulation, processing method: Based on CALIPSO satellite vertical observation and global aerosol model, it is generated by four-dimensional local ensemble transformation Kalman filter assimilation method;

3) The data quality is good;

4) It can also be used to study the spatiotemporal distribution of aerosols and their spatial and temporal characteristics of precipitation and their assimilation.

File naming and required software

parameterXX_ yyyymm.nc
Parameter: aot0550 is the total aerosol optical thickness at 550nm, cext is the total aerosol vertical extinction coefficient, mass is the total aerosol vertical mass concentration;
XX represents aerosol components, where BC, OC, Su, Du and SA represent black carbon, organic carbon, sulfate, sand dust and sea salt aerosols;
Yyyy is the year, mm is the month, such as aot0550_ 201501.nc represents this NC file, which describes the total aerosol optical thickness at 550nm in the pan third polar region in January 2015.
Data reading mode: the data set is stored in NetCDF format.
