1 Absolute accuracy is given at the horizontal and vertical resolution indicated in the last two columns, and represents the root sum of square of all (1s) errors, including forward model, inverse model, and instrument errors, calculated over the covered area, as indicated in the 6th column. Relative accuracy represents a component of the absolute error that varies at the frequency indicated in the 5th column. When multiple values are given the larger value applies.

2 G represents global coverage, D daylight, and V polar vortex conditions;

3 1 DU= 2.687 x 1016 molecules/cm2;

4 Cloud product are limited to optically thick clouds;

5 Aerosol products are limited to cloud-free pixels.
