AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The datasets provide high-resolution imagery of UV Aerosol Index (UVAI), also known as Absorbing Layer Height (ALH), which is used to detect and analyze aerosols in the atmosphere.
-
Two types of data are available: Near Real-Time (NRTI) and Offline (OFFL), offering different timeliness for monitoring aerosols.
-
Although ALH is sensitive to cloud contamination and it can be difficult to distinguish between aerosols and clouds, it is still computed for all FRESCO effective scenes.
-
These datasets are part of the Copernicus program and are supported by ESA and EU, aiming to improve air quality monitoring and understanding.
