Level 1.5 AERONET data processed by the version 3 AERONET algorithm were obtained. Surface radiometric data are logged via the Kipp and Zonen LOGBOX SE and Kipp and Zonen LOGBOX SE-software, version 1.10. CERES data were collected from NASA via their online tool, which can be accessed via https://ceres.larc.nasa.gov/data/ (last accessed October 2022). Cloud and dust masks were created via MATLAB version R2022a. ... : This object contains aerosol, radiometric, meteorological, and satellite measurements collected from various instrumentation at a sub-sea level field site located near the western shoreline of the Salton Sea, California (33.169011 N, -115.855960 E and -32 m AMSL) from November 2019 through December 2022 during clear-sky, daytime, and both dusty and non-dusty conditions. Aerosol products are obtained from a CIMEL sun photometer from the NASA Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET). Here level 1.5 AERONET data processed by the version 3 AERONET algorithm is obtained. Also included are dusty observations that were erroneously classified as being cloudy as described and investigated in Evan et al. (2022), 'On the Misclassification of Dust as Cloud at an AERONET Site in the Sonoran Desert'. Surface radiometric products are obtained from two Kipp and Zonoen pyranometers and pyrgeometers mounted at this field site, and the full, all-sky dataset can be obtained from the "Measurements from Radiometers" data set in this ...
