1.2 MIP Variable: Ambient Aerosol Optical Thickness at 550nm (od550csaer)

Record Label : od550csaer

Record Title : Ambient Aerosol Optical Thickness at 550nm

CF Standard Name : atmosphere_optical_thickness_due_to_ambient_aerosol_particles

Units of Measure : 1

Record Description : AOD from the ambient aerosols in clear skies if od550aer is for all-sky (i.e., includes aerosol water). Does not include AOD from stratospheric aerosols if these are prescribed but includes other possible background aerosol types. Needs a comment attribute "wavelength: 550nm"
