Dear Christiane, Jonathan and all,

atmosphere_number_content_of_X (new physical parameter)
******************************
atmosphere_number_content_of_cloud_droplets
atmosphere_number_content_of_ice_crystals
atmosphere_number_content_of_aerosol_particles

I would delete _of_atmosphere_layer and add dry_aerosol

mass_concentration_of_pm2p5_dry_aerosol_in_air
mass_concentration_of_pm1_dry_aerosol_in_air
mass_concentration_of_sulfate_dry_aerosol_in_air

I agree.
Assuming an agreement I would delete this _in_air_of_atmosphere_layer list
in my proposal.

> Why do you change the unit from kg to ug?
I like to say that ug is the typical and kg could be the canonical unit.
And my question is: Does udunit support ug?
