Description

This is Level-3 daily global gridded Aura-OMI Spectral Surface UVB Irradiance and Erythemal Dose product (OMUVBd). The OMUVBd product contains global erythemally weighted daily dose and erythemal dose rate at local solar noon at 1.0x1.0 deg grids.

The OMUVBd files are available in the version 5 EOS Hierarchical Data Format (HDF-EOS5). Each file contains daily data from the day lit portion of the globe. The maximum file size for the OMUVBd data product is about 5 MBytes.
