The file aerosol_cams_ifs_optics.nc provides the optical parameters needed for the implementation of the radiative effect of the CAMS aerosol species in the ECMWF radiation scheme. The file also provides the optical properties for a set of 20 individual wavelengths covering the visible and near-infrared spectral range.
