Data stream Name(s):
No.1 gectomsaerosolindexX1.00.yyyymmdd.000000.raw.tar
Monthly aerosol data. It contains the following individual files:
gectomsaerosolindexX1.00.yyyymmdd.000000.raw
"The daily gridded, ASCII data is an aerosol index formed
directly from the measured radiances in two TOMS channels.
Positive values generally represent absorbing aerosols (dust and smoke)
while negative values reresent nonabosrbing aerosols. The identification
is not perfect because of geophysical reasons (e.g., aerosol too low to
the ground)."
No.2 gectomsozoneX1.00.yyyymmdd.000000.raw.tar
Monthly ozone data. It contains the following individual files:
gectomsozoneX1.00.yyyymmdd.000000.raw
No.3 gectomsreflX1.00.yyyymmdd.000000.raw.tar
