Illustration of the LSR calculation procedure using Aeolus at 355 nm starting from (a) uncorrected and unfiltered aggregated monthly observations of LSR’ (sr−1) for 2018-09, (b) uncorrected, but filtered (Flag = 100%, which means that 100% of attenuated features were filtered out; AOD < 1.0 only) aggregated monthly observations of LSR’; both a and b were calculated using the highest Aeolus measurement resolution. Gridded (2.5° × 2.5°) monthly estimates of corrected LSR for ‘2018-09’ and for the ‘2018-09–2019-08 period’ excluding June 2019 (which is not available) are illustrated in panels (c) and (d), respectively.
