GloSSAC Project keyword does not have a description.

Please add the following description:
"GloSSAC is a 38-year record of stratospheric aerosol optical properties measured primarily by space-based instruments. It was developed as a part of the stratospheric aerosol forcing for the Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) set (1979 to 2014) and subsequently extended through 2016. GloSSAC focuses on the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) series of instruments through mid-2005 and on the Optical Spectrograph and InfraRed Imager System (OSIRIS) and the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) data thereafter. We also utilize data from other space instruments and ground-based, air, and balloon-borne instruments to fill in key gaps in the data set. The result is a global and gap-free data set focused on aerosol extinction coefficient at 525 and 1020 nm and other parameters on an 'as available' basis. "
