POLDER/PARASOL Global gridded atmospheric products - Level-3

The Gridded atmospheric product includes a reprojected version of all Level-2 and Level-3 atmospheric parameters (aerosol and cloud) in a cylindrical (i.e. equi-rectangular) projection grid at 1/6 deg. (18.5 km) resolution in HDF-EOS format. For details about the gridded atmospheric product, see POLDER/PARASOL Gridded Atmosphere Product.
