The AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) from NASA/GSFC
Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR
AERONET (AErosol RObotic NETwork) is an optical ground based aerosol monitoring network and data archive supported by NASA's Earth Observing System and expanded by federation with many non-NASA institutions.
Description
The network hardware consists of identical automatic sun-sky scanning spectral radiometers owned by national agencies and universities. Data from this collaboration provides globally distributed near real time observations of aerosol spectral optical depths, aerosol size distributions, and precipitable water in diverse aerosol regimes.
The data undergo preliminary processing (real time data), reprocessing (final calibration about 6 mo. after data collection), quality assurance, archiving and distribution from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center master archive and several identical data bases maintained globally. The data provides algorithm validation of satellite aerosol retrievals and characterization of aerosol properties that are unavailable from satellite sensors.
