Aerosol Properties over Sea - MSG - Indian Ocean

Abstract:
The AES product estimates the optical thickness for clear sky pixels over sea in the VIS0.6, VIS0.8 and NIR1.6 channels. In addition, the Angstrom coefficient is determined. The algorithm uses a method described by Ignatov, using pre-calculated tables to derive the relevant variables. Intermediate products are derived for every image containing information in the VIS channels. The disseminated product is a daily averaged product. Applications include numerical weather prediction, climate research and monitoring. From 1 June 2022, Meteosat-9 at 45.5° E is the prime satellite for the IODC service, replacing Meteosat-8 (located at 41.5° E while in operation).
