BackForward Variable: Aerosol particle light extinction coefficient [532nm]

Definition
Full name Aerosol particle light extinction coefficient [532nm]
Definition The aerosol particle extinction coefficient is a measure of the rate of diminution of transmitted light via scattering and absorption processes. A measure of light attenuation due to scattering and absorption by aerosol particles expressed as the Beer-Lambert Law exponent at unit path distance (WMO codes).
Measuring Units km-1 Uncertainty Units km-1
