Protocol Direct Radiative Forcing (AeroCom Phase
I, Experiments B,PRE)
The Variable name is a combination of Parameter name and
Species name
(e.g. WET_DUST, WET_SS, WET_BC…).
Species names: DUST, SS, BC, POM, SO4, AER(=all aerosol),
AERN(=aerosol number), METEO(=Meteorological)
Grid resolution if not mentioned otherwise LATxLON, thus
2 dimensional in time
Blue fields indicate 3D fields LATxLONxLEV
