Atmospheric hydroxyl distribution from the EMAC model (MOM kinetic chemistry mechanism)
- 1. Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Atmospheric Chemistry Department, P.O. Box 3060, 55020 Mainz, Germany
Description
This dataset contains the output from the simulations with the EMAC model implementing the MOM kinetic chemistry mechanism presented in Lelieveld et al. (2016) study. In addition to the computed atmospheric hydroxyl (OH) and hydroperoxyl (HO2) radicals abundance distributions, we add related model fields facilitating usage/comparison of these results with other estimates.
The data containers format is netCDF v.4 (compressed); please refer to the container variables/attributes for the extended information. We present here the actual model output (weekly averages for the 2013−2014 period, in EMAC-MOM__*.nc) and the monthly "climatology" fields (average, SD, minima and maxima of the time steps falling in particular month, in EMAC-MOM__*--clim.nc, respectively).
See the .README.pdf file for additional notes.
Changes w.r.t. initial version from 2020/09/22:
2020/10/30: Updated attributes and DOIs in .nc/.jnl files, added OH "climatology", updated README.
2020/10/31: Updated description and "climatology" (SD fields were missing).
2022/06/19: Added hydroperoxyl (HO2) fields, updated species average concentration plot sample script.
2023/10/26: Dataset title adjusted for clarity
