I find the terms X_expressed_as_Y, or X_expressed_as_such, if X=Y very
clear, but I am not sure when to apply it, because there is also just X.
For example should it be
dust_dry_aerosol or dust_expressed_as_such_dry_aerosol? In contrast to
e.g. dust_expressed_as_silicate_dry_aerosol.
Please comment!
Best regards,
Christiane
