      SO2 in the map shows
      mg/m³
      but it should
      µg/m³ ?

      Is the unit wrong or the value, or is it all correct ?

      In:
      https://community.windy.com/topic/3361/description-of-weather-overlays
      you write:

      The level of SO2 concentration is given in micrograms (one-millionth of a gram) per cubic meter of air, or µg/m3.

        The amount of SO2 displayed in this layer is the total amount of SO2 in a vertical column of the atmosphere. So it is mg/m2 no longer μg/m3 (The description of this layer that you show is wrong now because the data provider has changed).

        @Korina This description should be updated.
