What is a LEV15 file?

LEV15 files mostly belong to AERONET software. A *.LEV15 file stores AERONET AOD Level 1.5 data. This data describes spectral aerosol optical depth, offering insights into atmospheric conditions and air quality. The file format is specific to AERONET, a globally distributed network of sun photometers that measure atmospheric aerosols. These measurements are crucial for climate modeling, pollution tracking, and environmental research.

Trouble Opening a .LEV15 File? These Steps Will Help

Because .LEV15 files originate from specialized programs, they aren't universally openable.

Identify the Source: If received from atmospheric researchers, it likely contains Aerosol Optical Depth data from AERONET software.
Check the Header: Inspect the first lines in a text editor or hex viewer:
- Readable tabular ASCII text confirms an AERONET data file.
- "PK" suggests a compressed archive.
- XML/JSON tags indicate structured data.
Use the Original Software: The original program is usually required; try AERONET tools, NASA viewers, or Excel, but ask the sender if uncertain.
Use this Webpage: Drag and drop your file into our viewer to detect the format, extract readable metadata, and preview contents when possible.
