Aerosol Optical Depth as interpolated from GEOS5 for the
aer_opt2 case
4-km domain, forecast hour 24
aer_opt2 Case uses:
GEOS 3-hourly aerosol optical depth
fixed aerosol angstrom exponent = 1.3
fixed single scattering albedo = 0.85
fixed aerosol asymmetry parameter = 0.9
NOTE: In this first test, the AOD field was not smoothed at all. In all other tests, it is smoothed using a standard 4-pt smoother in METGRID.
