| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| branded_variable_name | od550lt1aer_tavg-u-hxy-u |
| cell_measures | area: areacella |
| cell_methods | amn-twm (Area and Time Mean) |
| cmip6_compound_name | AERmon.od550lt1aer |
| cmip6_frequency | mon |
| cmip6_tables_identifier | AERmon (Monthly atmospheric chemistry and aerosol data) |
| cmip7_compound_name | aerosol.mon.od550lt1aer_tavg-u-hxy-u |
| cmip7_frequency | mon |
| coordinates | lambda550nm |
| description | od550 due to particles with wet diameter less than 1 um ("ambient" 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. |
| dimensions | longitude, latitude, time, lambda550nm |
| modelling_realm | Aerosol |
| name | AERmon.od550lt1aer |
| physical_parameter | od550lt1aer (Ambient Fine Aerosol Optical Depth at 550nm) |
| processing_note | CHANGE SINCE CMIP6 in Dimensions - CMIP6:longitude latitude time lambda550nm CMIP7:longitude latitude time lambda550nm, Changes since reverted/fixed. Variable now matches CMIP6 definition. |
