Interstate Transport of CO and BC and other relevant model evaluation data

This zip file contains four sub-folders and 4 other files which are used in Bhardwaj et al., 2020 submitted in JGR:Atmospheres

1. bc_data : contains 15 files

• 12 netcdf files (2014*_bc.nc) for each month having co-located WRF and observation data
• 2 files (BC_seasonal_*.txt) which contains all BC surface observations over India from Kumar et al., (2015)

2. comp_MOPITT : contains 8 files

• 4 netcdf files (wrf_mop_tc_co_*.nc; for four seasons defined in the paper) with WRF and MOPITT total CO column data
• 4 netcdf files (wrf_mop_co_*.nc; for four seasons defined in the paper) with WRF and MOPITT CO profile data.

3. comp_TRMM contains 12 monthly netCDF files (comp_wrf_trmm_prec_2014*.nc) with WRF and TRMM data used in this study

4. NOAA_NCDC_ISD contains six netcdf files (wrf_obs_*.nc) for six regions (defined in this study) with co-located temperature and wind speed observations over India. The file also has WRF data for the same sites

• Two “wrfchemi_*z_d01” input emission files which are used for making emission flux (the above files) and mixing ratio plots (below files)
• Two files “state_contri_2014.nc” and “region_contri_2014.nc” have all information on interstate CO, BC for every six hours during 2014 from 30 states or six regions. These files are used for most plots in Bhardwaj et al., 2020.
