Output File Format: Aerosol Binned Sectional State

The aerosol size distributions (number and mass) are stored on a logarmithmic grid (see the Output File Format: Bin Grid Data section). To compute the total number or mass concentration, compute the sum over i of aero_number_concentration(i) * aero_diam_widths(i), for example.

The aerosol binned sectional state uses the aero_species NetCDF dimension as specified in the Output File Format: Aerosol Material Data section, as well as the aero_diam NetCDF dimension specified in the Output File Format: Bin Grid Data section.

The aerosol binned sectional state NetCDF variables are:
