SAGE III/ISS Version 6.0 Product Release Announcement

[ASDC - micook]

The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III installed on the International Space Station (SAGE III/ISS) mission team announces public release of newly versioned science products. This SAGE III/ISS Version 6.0 (v6.0) includes Solar Level 1B, Solar Level 2, and Lunar Level 2 data products.

Details of v6.0 can be found in the Release Notes and the Data Products User’s Guide. Pay special attention to these documents as the contents have changed from past versions for all three types of scientific data formats containing SAGE III/ISS data.

V6.0 includes algorithmic improvements, updated ancillary inputs and the convergence of data products previously available only in separate files/outlets. Traditional SAGE products now are packaged with the newly developed derived products aerosol/cloud flag and particle size distribution parameters.

Observations cover June 2017 through December 2024. Until further notice, all forward processing of SAGE III/ISS will be under v6.0, which is the suggested version, but prior versions are available on request.
