Record Label : mass_concentration_of_nitrate_dry_aerosol_particles_in_air
Record Title : Mass Concentration of Nitrate Dry Aerosol Particles in Air
CF Standard Name : mass_concentration_of_nitrate_dry_aerosol_particles_in_air
Record Description : Mass concentration means mass per unit volume and is used in the construction mass_concentration_of_X_in_Y, where X is a material constituent of Y. A chemical species denoted by X may be described by a single term such as "nitrogen" or a phrase such as "nox_expressed_as_nitrogen". "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-.
