The 12 products in this project include nine derived from three Geostationary Earth Observation (GEO) instruments and three from merged data from GEO and Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) instruments as summarized in the following table.\n\n| Platform | Instrument | Temporal Cadence | Spatial Res. | Product |\n| :-------: | :----------: | :------------------: | :-----------: | :-------: |\n| GOES-16 | Advanced Baseline Imager | 30 Min. | 10 km | AERDB_L2_ABI_G16 |\n| GOES-17 | Advanced Baseline Imager | 30 Min. | 10 km | AERDB_L2_ABI_G17 |\n| Himawari-8 | Advanced Himawari Imager | 30 Min. | 10 km | AERDB_L2_AHI_H08 |\n| GOES-16 | Advanced Baseline Imager | Daily | 1\u02da x 1\u02da | AERDB_D3_ABI_G16 |\n| **GOES-17** | **Advanced Baseline Imager** | **Daily** | **1\u02da x 1\u02da** | **AERDB_D3_ABI_G17** |\n| Himawari-8 | Advanced Himawari Imager | Daily | 1\u02da x 1\u02da | AERDB_D3_AHI_H08 |\n| GOES-16 | Advanced Baseline Imager | Monthly | 1\u02da x 1\u02da | AERDB_M3_ABI_G16 |\n| GOES-17 | Advanced Baseline Imager | Monthly | 1\u02da x 1\u02da | AERDB_M3_ABI_G17 |\n| Himawari-8 | Advanced Himawari Imager | Monthly | 1\u02da x 1\u02da | AERDB_M3_AHI_H08 |\n| Multiple* | ABI, AHI, VIIRS, MODIS* | 30 Min. | 0.25\u02da x 0.25\u02da | AERDB_L2G_GEOLEO_Merged |\n| Multiple* | ABI, AHI, VIIRS, MODIS* | Daily | 1\u02da x 1\u02da | AERDB_D3_GEOLEO_Merged |\n| Multiple* | ABI, AHI, VIIRS, MODIS* | Monthly | 1\u02da x 1\u02da | AERDB_M3_GEOLEO_Merged |\n\n\\*  includes G16-ABI, G17-ABI, H08-AHI, SNPP-VIIRS, NOAA20-VIIRS, Terra MODIS & Aqua MODIS\n\nDerived from the L2 (AERDB_L2_ABI_G17) input data, each D3 ABI/GOES-17 product is produced daily at 1 x 1 degree horizontal resolution. In general, in this daily L3 (identified in the shortname as D3) aggregated product, each data field represents the arithmetic mean of all cells whose latitude and longitude places them within the bounds of each grid element. Another statistic like Standard Deviation is also provided in some cases. The final retrievals used in the aggregation process are QA-filtered best-estimate values for cells that are measured on the day of interest. Further, at least three such retrievals are required to render the validity of a grid cell on any given day. This first release of these products spans from May 2019 through April 2020 with a potential to generate additional temporal coverage in the future.\n\nEach L3 aggregated daily ABI/GOES-17 datafile contains 48 Science Data Sets (SDS) that include the following:\n\n1. Aerosol_Optical_Thickness_550_Land_Count\n2. Aerosol_Optical_Thickness_550_Land_Maximum\n3. Aerosol_Optical_Thickness_550_Land_Mean\n4. Aerosol_Optical_Thickness_550_Land_Mean_Hourly\n5.
