When you are on the page of your Aeronet station (Example: Toulouse_MF),
select the desired data type: AOD (Atmospheric Optical Depth = AOT) and
Level 1.5
if possible (to have only valid and not given those taken with clouds ),
otherwise
Level 1.0
.
You can view the curves of AOT on the site, to see if they are fairly horizontal
(sign of a stable atmosphere during the day measures).
Finally, it will download the (.zip) file and unzip it to the folder :
<username>
/CalitooData/AeronetData
The name of a data file uses the following syntax :
YYMMDD_YYMMDD_STATION.levNN
avec : YY :year MM :month
DD :Day
NN : data lev (10 for 1.0, 15 for 1.5 and 20 for 2.0)
For our example shown above, we downloaded the file :
150920_150920_Toulouse_MF.lev15
AOD = AOT
Level 1.0 or 1.5
Years and months of
measurements
Day of
measurements
