CAM output: AEROD_v

[cruckstuhl@ucsd_edu]

Hi,
Is AEROD_v the AOD at a certain wavelength in the visible or the integral over all visible wavelengths? Can you provide me the specific wavelength or the visible range used in CAM?
Thanks

According to the CAM 3.0 User's Guide, AEROD_v is defined as "Total Aerosol Optical Depth in visible". It's not specific as to what the wavelengths associated with "visible" are. You may want to check the additional documentation at

I saw the AODVIS in wavelength 550nm in the nc files. Hope that could help.  Bowen
