Description
This dataset belongs to the paper " Mean age from observations in the lowermost stratosphere: an improved method and interhemispheric differences", submitted to ACP in 2022.
It contains
- SF6 and CFC-12 measurements from the GhOST instrument (ECD-Channel),
- mean age calculated using the conventional TR-only method (mA_fit),
- mean age calculated using the extended exTR-TR method (mA_fit_fracts)
- and flight track information (delta theta, equivalent latitude, latitude, longitude
in csv format for the three aircraft campaigns PGS (PGS_age.csv), WISE (WISE_age.csv) and SouthTRAC (ST_age.csv).
Mean age values have not been corrected for mesospheric loss of SF6.
The Python code tools for reproducing mean age calculations are available at
