The satellite data are part of the level-2 MODIS TERRA (MOD04_L2) Collection 005 dataset. For the definition of the Weekly cycle Index (WCI) and more details on the compilation of the 0.1x0.1 degree gridded dataset used for the calculations see Georgoulias and Kourtidis (2011) and Georgoulias and Kourtidis (2012) and feel free to contact A.K.
