Data coverage
The ABI G16 Deep Blue L3 Daily Aerosol Data, 1 x 1 degree grid product, short-name AERDBD3ABIG16, derived from the L2 (AERDBL2ABIG16) input data, each D3 ABI/GOES-16 product is produced daily at 1 x 1-degree horizontal resolution. In general, in this daily L3 (identified in the short-name as D3) aggregated product, each data field represents the arithmetic mean of all cells whose latitude and longitude places them within the bounds of each grid element. Another statistic like standard deviation is also provided in some cases. The final retrievals used in the aggregation process are Quality Assurance (QA)-filtered best-estimate values for cells that are measured on the day of interest. Further, at least three such retrievals are required to render the validity of a grid cell on any given day. This first release of these products spans from May 2019 through April 2020 with a potential to generate additional temporal coverage in the future. The Level-3 (L3) Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-16 (GOES-16) Deep Blue Daily Aerosol dataset is part of a 12-product suite produced by an Earth Science Research from Operational Geostationary Satellite Systems (ESROGSS)-funded project. The 12 products in this project include nine derived from three Geostationary Earth Observation (GEO) instruments and three from merged data from GEO and Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) instruments. The AERDBD3ABIG16 product, in netCDF4 format, contains 48 Science Data Set (SDS) layers.

This monthly L3 (identified in the short-name as M3) product’s statistics that include mean and standard deviation of the daily means are derived from the arithmetic mean values of the L3 daily product. As a mechanism to filter out poorly sampled grid elements, at least three valid days of data in the month are required to populate the monthly grid element.

Each L2G aggregated datafile is spatially comprised of a 0.25˚ x 0.25˚ horizontal grid that exists for every 30 minutes. This represents a 30-minute Deep Blue best-estimate AOT from each of the seven sources besides an error-weighted merged AOT layer. This first release of these products spans from May 2019 through April 2020 with a potential to generate additional temporal coverage in the future.
