Should this be "accumulation" or "accumulated"? Same for 456 and then in the other file, of course.

There are 2 dust modes in UKCA/GLOMAP - coarse mode and accumulation mode. So 'accumulation' refers to this mode. That's my understanding but I can double check again with model experts if you feel strongly it should be accumulated.

I was just curious, but if the mode is called "accumulation" then that is fine with me. Thanks!

FYI To be on the safe side I just double-checked with one of the scientists working on glomap and they said that accumulation is the right term for the mode.
