NOAA/GML SURFRAD Aerosol Properties- Aerosol Optical Depth, ISS Site

This dataset contains Aerosol Optical Depth from MFRSR (415-nm, 500-nm, 615-nm, 1625-nm, 870-nm) for the Chequamegon Heterogeneous Ecosystem Energy-balance Study Enabled by a High-density Extensive Array of Detectors (CHEESEHEAD) project. A detailed description of the calibration methods for the SURFRAD MFRSRs, aerosol optical depth computation, data distribution/sites, file format and the SURFRAD aerosol optical depth algorithm can be found in the README_AOD file.
