organic aerosol optical depth

Vertical column integral of spectral organic aerosol extinction coefficient or Beer's law exponent: AOD = (-K.Δz) where K is the extinction coefficient [km-1] and Δz the vertical path [km]. NB: This is a spectral quantity and the wavelength(s) of observation need to be specified.
