General overview of all products
The BIRA-IASB database proposes stratospheric aerosol data sets for various parameters of interest.
Two kind of data sets are available, specified as "monthly medians" and "events".
"Monthly medians" refer to binned data sets consisting of monthly medians over 10 degree latitude intervals, and provided on a fixed altitude grid with an increment of 0.5 or 1 km. "Events" are profiles derived from one or several profiles measured during a same occultation.
