Profile

v0001

The tables in this page describe the input data belonging to the v0001 distribution.

Available resolution

- R02B04 (icon_grid_0005_R02B04_G, with middle atmosphere)

NOTES:
- This distribution is based on T63L47 input data for ECHAM6-HAM.
- This distribution is meant to be used together with the version: icon-hammoz-distrib-prerelease_1.0.

Preparation of the data

The files were prepared by Marc Salzmann (University of Leipzig).

All the scripts used for the preparation of the new files of v0001 are available in the code in the directory <your_icon_hammoz_distrib_root_dir>/hammoz/util

Symbols

Explanation of the 'symbols' used in the table:

- "---" : data are resolution independent
- XXXX : data are yearly interpolated
- RES : data are dependent on horizontal resolution
- RCP*, rcp* : data are available for different scenarios

Emissions inventories

ACCMIP interpolated

Ref: http://accent.aero.jussieu.fr/ACCMIP_metadata.php
README: https://redmine.hammoz.ethz.ch/attachments/1257/README.accmip_interpolated.txt

NOTE:
- The accmip_interpolated dataset is missing the inter-annual variability in the biomassburning emissions since it is based on an interpolation of scenarios.
- Please see also #222 for some additional information about the reading of the emissions through the emi_spec.txt matrix

GFAS wildfire emissions

Ref:

NOTE:
- Daily wildfire emissions are recommended to be used for model evaluation. Simulations with daily GFAS emission data shows better agreement with observations than simulations with monthly AeroCom emissions (Veira et al., 2015) [12].
- Global GFAS emissions for SO2, BC, OC and C2H6S (DMS) are multiplied with the recommended official scaling factor of 3.4 (Kaiser et al, 2012) [13] in the emi_spec-file.
- GFASv1.0 data is used for March 2000 until September 2014, GFASv1.2 data is used for End of September 2014 until December 2015
