aerosol optical depth derivations
- total aerosol optical depth from partial aerosol optical depth profile - symbol - description - unit - variable name - \(\tau\) - total aerosol optical depth - \(-\) - aerosol_optical_depth {:} - \(\tau(i)\) - aerosol optical depth - \(-\) - aerosol_optical_depth {:,vertical} - The pattern : for the first dimensions can represent {latitude,longitude}, {time}, {time,latitude,longitude}, or no dimensions at all. \[\tau = \sum_{i}{\tau(i)}\]
- aerosol optical depth from aerosol extinction coefficient - symbol - description - unit - variable name - \(z^{B}(l)\) - altitude boundaries (\(l \in \{1,2\}\)) - \(m\) - altitude_bounds {:,2} - \(\sigma\) - aerosol extinction coefficient - \(\frac{1}{m}\) - aerosol_extinction_coefficient {:} - \(\tau\) - aerosol optical depth - \(-\) - aerosol_optical_depth {:} - The pattern : for the dimensions can represent {vertical}, {latitude,longitude}, {latitude,longitude,vertical}, {time}, {time,vertical}, {time,latitude,longitude}, {time,latitude,longitude,vertical}, or no dimensions at all. \[\tau = \sigma \lvert z^{B}(2) - z^{B}(1) \rvert\]
