Aerosol Optical Depth 3 March 2004 11:00 UTC.

Three values of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) are retrieved over cloud- and glint-free ocean in three SEVIRI shortwave spectral bands, independently using the 3rd generation NOAA/NESDISD aerosol algorithm for AVHRR/3 (Ignatov et al. 2002)((Ignatov, A., and Stowe, L., 2002. Aerosol Retrievals from Individual AVHRR Channels: I. Retrieval Algorithm and transition from Dave to 6S radiative transfer model. J. Atm. Sci, 59, 313--334.)).
