Dataset used for evaluation of GRASP-AOD algorithm

<strong>Dataset used for evaluation of GRASP-AOD algorithm</strong> 30 AERONET sites where processed using GRASP v1.0.0 and following the methodology described in Torres et. al 2017 and Torres et Fuertes 2020. More sites and data can be found at www.grasp-open.com . 31 files can be found. 30 Files described the 30 AERONET sites used for GRASP-AOD validation while the file aureole_Granada.csv is used in the section 4.2 for GRASP-AUR test.
