Comment:
"Dust concentration" is a required component of the pre-defined set of aerosol classes from which the aerosol type is chosen. The value reported for "dust concentration" is the aerosol mass mixing ratio multiplied by the mass fraction of dust or sand in the aerosol class chosen as the aerosol type.
