MAIAC Aerosol Type
Posted: Wed Feb 01, 2023 3:40 pm America/New_York
Hello,
I have a question about the MAIAC Daily Atmosphere (MCD19A2) data product. The link I provided below says this data product includes a layer for aerosol type. However, I couldn't find an SDS layer that corresponds with the aerosol type (or cloud mask). I am wondering if it is possible to plot the aerosol type? If so, are there any resources on how to do this?
For context, I am looking at a small scale region (city level) that has aerosols present but it is unknown the speciation of these aerosols. It would be very helpful to learn if they are dust, smoke, or something else.

Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
