processing_noteThis is a regional subset of the variable. If you are producing the global equivalent of AERmon.od550aerSouth30, you should omit this regional South30 version. If the global equivalent of this variable is not in the Data Request, you can still produce that instead of the regional variable if you prefer, and you will be able to publish it.
