Summary:since 1988, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has provided operational aerosol observations (AEROBS) from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR/2) on board the afternoon NOAA satellites. Ignatov et al describe the AEROBS processing and gives example of aerosol products, along with a preliminary diagnostics of their quality using some of the previously developed self-consistency checks.
