1.8 CF Standard Names: Atmosphere Mass Content of Particulate Organic Matter Dry Aerosol Particles (atmosphere_mass_content_of_particulate_organic_matter_dry_aerosol_particles)

Record Label : atmosphere_mass_content_of_particulate_organic_matter_dry_aerosol_particles

Record Title : Atmosphere Mass Content of Particulate Organic Matter Dry Aerosol Particles

CF Standard Name : atmosphere_mass_content_of_particulate_organic_matter_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 takes up ambient water (a process known as hygroscopic growth) depending on the relative humidity and the composition of the aerosol. "Dry aerosol particles" means aerosol particles without any water uptake. The term "particulate_organic_matter_dry_aerosol" means all particulate organic matter dry aerosol except elemental carbon. It is the sum of primary_particulate_organic_matter_dry_aerosol and secondary_particulate_organic_matter_dry_aerosol.
