The quantity with standard name spectral_width_of_radio_wave_in_air_scattered_by_air is the frequency width of the signal received by an instrument such as a radar or lidar. The signal returned to the instrument is the sum of all scattering from a given volume of air regardless of mechanism (examples are scattering by aerosols, hydrometeors and refractive index irregularities, or whatever else the instrument detects).

GRIB:

Frequency width of the radio wave, that was transmitted by an instrument and propagates in the air where it's scattered by the air due to which its properties change, and it is received by an instrument. The "instrument" (examples are radar and lidar) is the device used to make the observation. The "scatterers" are what causes the transmitted signal to be returned to the instrument (examples are aerosols, hydrometeors and refractive index irregularities in the air). A standard name referring to frequency spectra width of the signal received at the instrument.
