Effects of Reanalysis Forcing Fields on Ozone Trends from a Chemical Transport Model

This dataset is based on the global off-line 3-D chenmical transport model (TOMCAT/SLIMCAT) forced with ECMWF reanalyses (ERA-Interim and ERA5) to compare the performance of the stratospheric ozone simulations. Each field is separately saved as NETCDF file. Each field is show on geographic coordinates, which can be longitude, latitude, vertical hybrid-pressure level (for zonal mean fields, such as ozone, temperature and age-of-air).

The dimensions in each field are:

lat --> latitude

lon --> longitude

lev --> hydrid pressure level

time --> months of the simulation

The output of total column ozone from the TOMCAT/SLIMCAT simulations forced with ERA-Interim and ERA5 for Figures 1-5 are in files:
