VIRR Level 2 Daily Sand/Dust Monitoring Product from FY-3B.

Abstract:
VIRR(Visible Infrared Radiometer) L2 Daily Sand/Dust Monitoring Product uses FY-3 VIRR data to identify sand/dust events globally according to the spectrum characteristics of VIRR infrared, mid-infrared and visible channels, and to calculate sand/dust intensity index (DSI). This product is produced once a day, and its resolution is 1000M.
