FILE NAMING CONVENTION AND DATA CONTENT:
Data corresponds to daily medians.
X corresponds to the wavelength (B (or b) ~= 450 nm, G (or g)~= 550 nm and R (or r) ~= 660 nm, in [1..7]=[370, 470, 520, 590, 660, 880, 950] nm)
N corresponds to 0 for PM10 inlet and to 1 for PM1 inlet.
yy corresponds to a defined number attributed to a specific instrument at the station. At some stations, yy is not given to no ambiguity in the data sets.
BsXN = Total scattering coefficient [Mm⁻¹]
BbsXN = backscattering coefficient [Mm⁻¹]
BbsFXN = backscattering fraction
BaXN = absorption coefficient [Mm⁻¹]
SSANX= single scattering albedo
expS_XXN= scattering Angström exponent
expA_XXN= scattering Angström exponent
UN = Relative Humidity [%]
