Each Physical Parameter record defines a MIP variable name, associated with a CF Standard Name. Formerly known as MIP Variables in CMIP6
| Attribute | Value |
|---|---|
| cf_standard_name | atmosphere_optical_thickness_due_to_ambient_aerosol_particles |
| description | AOD from the 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: 443nm" |
| flag_change_since_cmip6 | True |
| name | od443aer |
| processing_comment | CHANGE: name in CMIP6: "od440aer", name in CMIP7 "od443nm" |
| provenance | CCMI1_monthly |
