Ah, I see! Indeed, I find that confusing as a human parser of language, and
had misunderstood it. So the intention of this name is
  atmosphere_mass_content_of_sulfate (expressed_as_sulfur) dry_aerosol
I agree, it would be much clearer to change it to
  atmosphere_mass_content_of_sulfate_dry_aerosol_expressed_as_sulfur
as you say. There are five existing names of this type.

Thanks

Jonathan
