Monthly mean vertical profiles of aerosol extinction and optical depth are derived from the CALIOP lidar instrument. This specific product averages data only from satellite columns containing transparent clouds. The dataset was produced by NASA and CNES, with this version's generation ending in July 2020.
This is one of four distinct Level 3 products differentiated by sky condition (All Sky, Cloud-Free, Cloudy-Sky Transparent, Cloud-Sky Opaque); users must select the appropriate version for their analysis.
