1.2 MIP Variable: Ambient Fine Aerosol Optical Depth at 550nm (od550lt1aer)

Record Label : od550lt1aer

Record Title : Ambient Fine Aerosol Optical Depth at 550nm

CF Standard Name : atmosphere_optical_thickness_due_to_pm1_ambient_aerosol_particles

Units of Measure : 1

Record Description : od550 due to particles with wet diameter less than 1 um (ambient here means wetted). When models do not include explicit size information, it can be assumed that all anthropogenic aerosols and natural secondary aerosols have diameter less than 1 um.
