US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO) Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications Version 2 (MERRA-2) inst3_3d_aer_Nv: 3-dimensional, 3-Hourly, Instantaneous, Model-Level, Assimilation, Aerosol Mixing Ratio (M2I3NV

An instantaneous 3-dimensional, 3-hourly data collection of aerosol mixing ratios is presented in the Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2). Global model and data assimilations of aerosol mixing ratio parameters at 72 model vertical layers are used to predict atmospheric aerosol mixing ratios every 3 hours.
