The Level 3 standard products contain climatological datasets obtained as aggregated products from the fully quality controlled (QC) aerosol optical products (i.e. Level 2 products). In order to avoid biases due to measurements made on purpose specifically for capturing special events, it is considered only subset of data corresponding to regular schedule and measurements done for satellite validation purposes (i.e. climatological and calipso category files following the current EARLINET database organization [Pappalardo et al., 2014]).
