Product Description:
The Level-3 Continuity Atmospheric Aerosol Deep Blue Product (AERDB_D3 or AERDB_M3) provides full global coverage of aerosol properties from the Deep Blue (DB) algorithm on daily or montly timescales. The DB algorithm covers the entire land area of the Earth, including both dark and bright surfaces. Results are provided on a 1 x 1 degree global rectangular grid). Product files are stored in NetCDF4 format.

Production Frequency:
VIIRS: One D3 file per day and one M3 file per month

Spatial Coverage:
Global

Spatial Resolution:
1 x 1 degree grid
