AEROCOM FIELDS / WEB INTERFACE / PUBLIC
PRELIMINARY RESULTS - you need to contact authors if you want to use results
(see contact)

Introduction / Objectives

This interface aims at putting aside AEROCOM aerosol model results and satellite observations (POLDER, MODIS) . I
t shall allow to look at data and model results from different angles to improve aerosol models and make better use of the existing measurements.

See further explanation of the features -> HERE,

Overview of processed data -> HERE
.
