Definition 2D Field of mass of volcanic ash, integrated over the total column.
Measuring Units g.m-2 Uncertainty Units %
Horizontal Res Units Vertical Res Units
Stability Units % (Stability /decade)

 

Comment: "Volcanic ash" is a required component of the pre-defined set of aerosol classes from which the aerosol type is chosen. The value reported for "volcanic ash" is the aerosol column burden multiplied by the mass fraction of volcanic ash in the aerosol class chosen as the aerosol type.
