1.8 CF Standard Names: Atmosphere Mole Content of Ozone (atmosphere_mole_content_of_ozone)

Record Label : atmosphere_mole_content_of_ozone

Record Title : Atmosphere Mole Content of Ozone

CF Standard Name : atmosphere_mole_content_of_ozone

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 construction "atmosphere_mole_content_of_X" means the vertically integrated number of moles of X above a unit area. The chemical formula for ozone is O3. atmosphere_mole_content_of_ozone is usually measured in Dobson Units which are equivalent to 446.2 micromoles m-2. N.B. Data variables containing column content of ozone can be given the standard name of either equivalent_thickness_at_stp_of_atmosphere_ozone_content or atmosphere_mole_content_of_ozone.The latter name is recommended for consistency with mole content names for chemical species other than ozone.

Canonical Units : mol m-2
