Each Output variable record corresponds to a physical parameter specification.
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| cell_measures | area: areacella |
| cell_methods | amn-twm (Area and Time Mean) |
| cmip6_frequency | mon |
| cmip6_tables_identifier | AERmon (Monthly atmospheric chemistry and aerosol data) |
| cmip7_frequency | mon |
| coordinates | lambda550nm |
| description | AOD from ambient aerosols (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: 550 nm" |
| dimensions | longitude, latitude, time, lambda550nm |
| modelling_realm | Aerosol |
| name | AERmon.od550aer |
| physical_parameter | od550aer (Ambient Aerosol Optical Thickness 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. |
| provenance | AERmon ((isd.003)) |
| spatial_shape | XY-na (Global field (single level)) |
| temporal_shape | time-intv (Temporal Interval) |
| title | Ambient Aerosol Optical Thickness at 550nm |
