Zusammenfassung:The evolution and transport of thick haze from the 2020 Australian bushfire is tracked using the NASA Modern-Era Retrospective analysis for Research and Applications version 2 (MERRA-2) data archived at the NASA GES DISC data center. The MERRA-2 provides global data at 0.5 x 0.625 spatial resolution since the year 1980. In this use case, with xarray, a python3 library, we remotely accessed the hourly aerosol optical depth (AOD) and PM2.5 data through the OpeNDAP service provided by GES DISC. We also derived weekly data from hourly ones.
