Record Label : atmosphere_mass_content_of_nitrate_dry_aerosol_particles
Record Title : Atmosphere Mass Content of Nitrate Dry Aerosol Particles
CF Standard Name : atmosphere_mass_content_of_nitrate_dry_aerosol_particles
Record Description : "Content" indicates a quantity per unit area. The "atmosphere content" of a quantity refers to the vertical integral from the surface to the top of the atmosphere. For the content between specified levels in the atmosphere, standard names including content_of_atmosphere_layer are used. The mass is the total mass of the particles. "Aerosol" means the system of suspended liquid or solid particles in air (except cloud droplets) and their carrier gas, the air itself. Aerosol particles take up ambient water (a process known as hygroscopic growth) depending on the relative humidity and the composition of the particles. "Dry aerosol particles" means aerosol particles without any water uptake. The chemical formula for the nitrate anion is NO3-.
Canonical Units : kg m-2
