OFFL/L3_AER_LH
This dataset provides offline high-resolution imagery of the UV Aerosol Index (UVAI), also called the Absorbing Layer Height (ALH).
The ALH is very sensitive to cloud contamination. However, aerosols and clouds can be difficult to distinguish, and ALH is computed for all FRESCO effective cloud fractions smaller than 0.05. Cloud masks are available from FRESCO and VIIRS, and are strongly recommended to filter for residual clouds. A sunglint mask is also available to screen sunglint regions, which are not filtered beforehand.
It is known that high surface albedos negatively influence the ALH, biasing the ALH towards the surface. In general, the ALH over (dark) oceans is considered reliable to within the requirement of 1000 m or 100 hPa. Over land, especially bright surfaces, the accuracy may be lower, and the use of the ALH product over bright surfaces like deserts is not advisable.
For this L3 AER_LH product, the aerosol_mid_pressure is calculated with a pair of measurements at the 354 nm and 388 nm wavelengths. The COPERNICUS/S5P/OFFL/L3_SO2 product has the absorbing_aerosol_index calculated using the 340 nm and 380 nm wavelengths.
该数据集提供了紫外线气溶胶指数 (UVAI) 的离线高分辨率图像,也称为吸收层高度 (ALH)。
ALH 对云污染非常敏感。然而,气溶胶和云很难区分,ALH 是针对所有小于 0.05 的 FRESCO 有效云分数计算的。 FRESCO 和 VIIRS 提供云遮罩,强烈建议过滤残留云。也可使用阳光遮罩来筛选未预先过滤的阳光区域。
众所周知,高表面反照率会对 ALH 产生负面影响,使 ALH 偏向表面。一般而言,(暗)海洋上的 ALH 在 1000 m 或 100 hPa 的要求内被认为是可靠的。在陆地上,尤其是在明亮的表面上,精度可能会较低,并且不建议在沙漠等明亮的表面上使用 ALH 产品。
对于此 L3 AER_LH 产品,使用 354 nm 和 388 nm 波长处的一对测量值计算 aerosol_mid_pressure。 COPERNICUS/S5P/OFFL/L3_SO2 产品具有使用 340 nm 和 380 nm 波长计算的吸收气溶胶指数。
OFFL L3 Product
To make our OFFL L3 products, we find areas within the product's bounding box with data using a command like this:
harpconvert --format hdf5 --hdf5-compression 9 -a 'aerosol_height_validity>50;derive(datetime_stop {time})' S5P_OFFL_L2__AER_LH_20190404T042423_20190404T060554_07630_01_010300_20190410T062552.nc grid_info.h5
We then merge all the data into one large mosaic (area-averaging values for pixels that may have different values for different times). From the mosaic, we create a set of tiles containing orthorectified raster data.
Example harpconvert invocation for one tile:
harpconvert --format hdf5 --hdf5-compression 9 -a 'aerosol_height_validity>50;derive(datetime_stop {time}); bin_spatial(2001, 50.000000, 0.01, 2001, -120.000000, 0.01); keep(aerosol_height,aerosol_pressure,aerosol_optical_depth, sensor_zenith_angle,sensor_azimuth_angle,solar_azimuth_angle,solar_zenith_angle)' S5P_OFFL_L2__AER_LH_20190404T042423_20190404T060554_07630_01_010300_20190410T062552.nc output.h5
Sentinel-5 Precursor
Sentinel-5 Precursor is a satellite launched on 13 October 2017 by the European Space Agency to monitor air pollution. The onboard sensor is frequently referred to as Tropomi (TROPOspheric Monitoring Instrument).
All of the S5P datasets, except CH4, have two versions: Near Real-Time (NRTI) and Offline (OFFL). CH4 is available as OFFL only. The NRTI assets cover a smaller area than the OFFL assets, but appear more quickly after acquisition. The OFFL assets contain data from a single orbit (which, due to half the earth being dark, contains data only for a single hemisphere).
Because of noise on the data, negative vertical column values are often observed in particular over clean regions or for low SO2 emissions. It is recommended not to filter these values except for outliers, i.e. for vertical columns lower than -0.001 mol/m^2.
The original Sentinel 5P Level 2 (L2) data is binned by time, not by latitude/longitude. To make it possible to ingest the data into Earth Engine, each Sentinel 5P L2 product is converted to L3, keeping a single grid per orbit (that is, no aggregation across products is performed).
Source products spanning the antimeridian are ingested as two Earth Engine assets, with suffixes _1 and _2.
The conversion to L3 is done by the harpconvert tool using the bin_spatial
operation. The source data is filtered to remove pixels with QA values less than:
- 80% for AER_AI
- 75% for the tropospheric_NO2_column_number_density band of NO2
- 50% for all other datasets except for O3 and SO2
The O3_TCL product is ingested directly (without running harpconvert).
