The radiative flux is reduced by a factor exp(-optical_thickness) on traversing the path. A coordinate variable of radiation_wavelength or radiation_frequency can be specified to indicate that the optical thickness applies at specific wavelengths or frequencies. The atmosphere optical thickness applies to radiation passing through the entire atmosphere. Aerosol means the system of suspended liquid or solid particles in air (except cloud droplets) and their carrier gas"@en ; skos:exactMatch ; skos:prefLabel "atmosphere optical thickness due to sulfate ambient aerosol particles"@en ; ns1:hadPrimarySource .
