The curated AOT product derived from JAXA ARP, NASA VIIRS DB and NASA MODIS DB products. The JAXA ARP provides the baseline (always available) data - which is “stretched”, aggregated and resampled to the CSIRO grid - whilst the MODIS and VIIRS data supplement the JAXA ARP when available. The products are merged by weighted averages using 1/uncertainty to derive the pixel-level weights. The uncertainties are then added in quadrature to find the weighted average uncertainties. The product provides mean and max AOT with pixel-level uncertainties.
