Record Label : number_concentration_of_nucleation_mode_ambient_aerosol_particles_in_air

Record Title : Number Concentration of Nucleation Mode Ambient Aerosol Particles in Air

CF Standard Name : number_concentration_of_nucleation_mode_ambient_aerosol_particles_in_air

Record Description : "Number concentration" means the number of particles or other specified objects per unit volume. "Ambient_aerosol" means that the aerosol is measured or modelled at the ambient state of pressure, temperature and relative humidity that exists in its immediate environment. "Ambient aerosol particles" are aerosol particles that have taken up ambient water through hygroscopic growth. The extent of hygroscopic growth depends on the relative humidity and the composition of the particles. Nucleation mode aerosol particles have a diameter of less than 3 nanometers.

Canonical Units : m-3

MIP Variable : Number Concentration of Nucleation Mode Aerosol
