The GADS aerosol components

    In GADS, the averaged aerosols are considered to consist of components listed in Table 1. The identificators of aerosol component (integers IC) used in GADS output files are listed in column 1, names or aerosol components are listed in column 2.
     Each aerosol component has up to 8 files (for the humidity classes), each containing data for all 61 wavelengths. The name of files with microphysical and optical properties of these components consist of a 4 letter approximation for the aerosol component, combined with the relative humidity, for which the optical properties have been calculated. Filenames are listed in columns 3 to10 of the Table 1. To view the content of files, click them with the mouse left button. To download a file of interest, click it with the mouse right button and select the "Save link as" item of the pop-up menu.
