A monthly time-averaged 2-dimensional data collection of additional (extended) atmospheric aerosol parameters is also available in Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2). It contains global model and data assimilation results that incorporate satellite-based observations to predict additional monthly aerosol parameters that include dry and wet deposition of aerosol components, dust emission and sedimentation by particle diameter bin, and organic carbon convective scavenging.
