Description

This repository contains the input data for  Dust Constraints from joint Observational-Modelling-experiMental analysis – DustCOMM Version 1.

The DustCOMM code is publicly available at http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2620556, while the DustCOMM output dataset is similarly available at http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2620475

Below, we give a brief description of each file:

1.  model_dust_concentration          -- Simulated 3-D dust concentration (ug/m3) from 6 model simulations. This folder contains both annually-averaged and seasonally-averaged model simulations.
2.  model_dust_Vweight                -- 3-D model dust vertical weight used in DustCOME. This is calculated from the modeled dust concentration. This folder contains both annually-averaged and seasonally-averaged model simulations.
3.  DAOD_clim_reanalysis_all.nc       -- Constrained annually-averaged dust aerosol optical depth. See Adebiyi et al. Geoscientific Model Development for details
4.  DAOD_seas_reanalysis_all.nc       -- Constrained seasonally-averaged dust aerosol optical depth. See Adebiyi et al. Geoscientific Model Development for details
5.  DustCOMM_lat.nc                   -- Latitude array used in DustCOMM. Dimension = 96.
6.  DustCOMM_lon.nc                   -- Longitude array used in DustCOMM. Dimension = 144.
7.  DustCOMM_lev.nc                   -- Altitude (hPa) array used in DustCOMM. Dimension = 48.
8.  Globally_averaged_dust_PSD.mat    -- Constrained Globally-averaged dust size distribution from Kok et al, Nature Geoscience, 2017.
9.  Size_resolved_ext_eff.mat         -- Constrained Globally-averaged dust extinction efficiency from Kok et al, Nature Geoscience, 2017.
