NAMMA MODIS/AQUA AND MODIS/TERRA DEEP BLUE PRODUCTS V1

The NAMMA MODIS/AQUA and MODIS/TERRA Deep Blue Products dataset is a collection of images depicting the aerosol optical depth derived from the MODIS deep blue algorithm from both AQUA and TERRA satellites. Additional imagery includes the RGB and Angstrom Exponent. These data files were generated during support of the NASA African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analyses (NAMMA) campaign, a field research investigation sponsored by the Science Mission Directorate of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). This mission was based in the Cape Verde Islands, 350 miles off the coast of Senegal in west Africa. Commencing in August 2006, NASA scientists employed surface observation networks and aircraft to characterize the evolution and structure of African Easterly Waves (AEWs) and Mesoscale Convective Systems over continental western Africa, and their associated impacts on regional water and energy budgets.

NAMMA MODIS/AQUA与MODIS/TERRA深蓝产品数据集，系由AQUA和TERRA卫星MODIS深蓝算法所导出的气溶胶光学深度图像的汇编。此外，还包括RGB图像和安斯特朗指数图像。这些数据文件是在支持美国国家航空航天局（NASA）非洲季风多学科分析（NAMMA）行动期间生成的，该行动是一项由NASA科学任务局资助的现场研究调查。该任务位于西非塞内加尔海岸350英里外的佛得角群岛。自2006年8月起，NASA科学家利用地表观测网络和飞机，对西非大陆东部波（AEWs）和中尺度对流系统（MCS）的演变和结构进行表征，并研究其与区域水循环和能量收支相关的潜在影响。
