Model data for research article "Description and Evaluation of a Secondary Organic Aerosol and New Particle Formation Scheme within TM5-MP v1.2"

Model data for article detailing the new secondary organic aerosol and new particle formation scheme in TM5-MP model submitted to Geoscientific Model Development.

Models simulation data is provided for the analysed year 2010 only.

NEWSOA simulation (newsoa-ri) is using the new soa scheme and new particle formation schemes binary homogeneous water sulfuric acid nucleation (Vehkamäki et al 2002) and organic new particle formation (Riccobono et al. 2014). OLDSOA simulation (oldsoa-bhn) is using the old soa scheme and new particle formation scheme binary homogeneous water sulfuric acid nucleation (Vehkamäki et al 2002).

Both simulation data folders include hourly data for surface layer (lev1.nc) and 2D data (lev0.nc), and monthly 3D data for all fields (mm.nc):

newsoa-ri general_TM5_newsoa-ri_2010.lev0.nc all 2D variables hourly data from the model general_TM5_newsoa-ri_2010.lev1.nc all 3D variables, but only surface layer hourly data from the model general_TM5_newsoa-ri_2010.mm.nc all 3D variables, monthly mean data from the model

oldsoa-bhn general_TM5_oldsoa-bhn_2010.lev0.nc all 2D variables hourly data from the model general_TM5_oldsoa-bhn_2010.lev1.nc all 3D variables, but only surface layer hourly data from the model general_TM5_oldsoa-bhn_2010.mm.nc all 3D variables, monthly mean data from the model

Third simulation data folder includes hourly data for surface layer (lev1.nc) and monthly 3D data for all fields (mm.nc):
general_TM5_oldsoa-bhn.megan2_2010.lev1.nc all 3D variables, but only surface layer hourly data from the model general_TM5_oldsoa-bhn-megan2_2010.mm.nc all 3D variables, monthly mean data from the model. Furthermore, MEGAN2-2010-SOA.nc includes new dataset for the third simulation including the SOA production in similar format as in the normal OLDSOA scheme.

Additionally fx-data folder includes static fields needed for analysis: ec-ei-an0tr6-sfc-glb100x100-0000-oro.nc grid cellarea for 1x1 grid ec-ei-an0tr6-sfc-glb100x100-0000-lsm.nc land sea mask for 1x1 grid griddef_62.nc gridboxarea for 3x2 grid SOA.nc prescribed SOA production for old scheme (in Tg(C)/gridbox, unit in file is wrong)
