The relevant data of "Robustness of GRASP Aerosol Retrievals and Associated Radiative Forcing Uncertainties in Central Asia"

Input of GRASP.zip contains the datasets required to run the GRASP model. Within this folder, new_20130101_20221231_Dushanbe.alm provides radiance measurements from the sun photometer at the Dushanbe site, new_20130101_20221231_Dushanbe.lev20 contains aerosol optical depth (AOD) data, and new_20130101_20221231_Dushanbe.tot_lev20 contains total optical depth (TOD) data. These three datasets were obtained from AERONET (download links: https://aeronet.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/webtool_aod_v3?stage=3&region=Asia&state=Tajikistan&site=Dushanbe&place_code=10&if_polarized=0; https://aeronet.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/webtool_inv_v3?stage=3&region=Asia&state=Tajikistan&site=Dushanbe&place_code=10). The file Input of GRASP_2013-2022_Dushanbe.sdata was generated from the three datasets above and can be directly used as input to the GRASP model. Surface information data of Dushanbe.zip provides the surface parameters required for GRASP simulations. In the Polder folder, the data are BRDF and BPDF parameters extracted from monthly mean POLDER products (available at: https://www.grasp-open.com/products/polder-data-release/, registration required), where each row represents values from January to December. In the MODIS folder, the data are BRDF parameters extracted from MODIS daily products (available at: https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/data/catalog/lpcloud-mcd43c2-061, registration required), where each row represents values from the first to the last day of the year. Output of GRASP.zip contains the variables retrieved by the GRASP model. Inverison_Products_from_AERONET_20130101_20221231_Dushanbe.zip contains AERONET inversion products used for comparison with the GRASP retrievals. Output of SBDART base on AERONET.zip contains radiative flux files produced by the SBDART radiative transfer model using AERONET inversion products as input. Output of SBDART base on GRASP.zip contains radiative flux files produced by the SBDART radiative transfer model using GRASP retrieval products as input. The GRASP model used in this study is publicly available at https://www.grasp-open.com/products/ (registration required before downloading), and the SBDART model is available at https://github.com/paulricchiazzi/SBDART#
