Illustrative dataset for Ozone radiative forcing calculations using SOCRATES-RF

Checa-Garcia, Ramiro

Other(s)

This dataset provides to the reader/user with two netCDF files which illustrate the structure and properties of the input datasets (used directly by the software SOCRATES-RF) in support of the publication: "Historical tropospheric and stratospheric ozone radiative forcing using the CMIP6 database".  It comprises two examples of January (pre-industrial decade, 1850s): one based on CMIP5 ozone concentrations and other based on the recently available  CMIP6 ozone dataset. Both were created with the procedure described on the supplementary information of the publication "Historical tropospheric and stratospheric ozone radiative forcing using the CMIP6 database", Checa-Garcia, R et al.

The sources of information for these datasets are the CMIP5 / CMIP6 ozone dataset, the ERA-Interim reanalysis dataset (2000-01 to 2009-12) and the solar irradiance from SORCE and TIM projects. Please see the references:
