[RegCNET] Querries about RegCM3 Aerosol run

[Dilip Ganguly]

Hi,

I would like to know the unit of the parameter 'aext8' (aerosol extinction 
coefficient) in RegCM chemistry output files. Is it (m-1) or (km-1) ? What 
is the wavelength at which 'aext8' has been calculated? Is it possible to 
get aerosol optical depth (AOD) by integrating 'aext8' over different levels 
in the atmosphere. Is it possible to derive AOD at more than one wavelength 
from the RegCM output.

Thanks,

Dilip.
