Supplementary dataset for “A multi-method assessment of the regional sensitivities between flight altitude and short-term O3 climate warming from aircraft NOx emissions"

This dataset accompanies the journal article entitled <em>A multi-method assessment of the regional sensitivities between flight altitude and short-term </em><em style="background-color:rgb(255, 250, 234);">O</em><sub style="background-color:rgb(255, 250, 234);"><em>3</em></sub><em> climate warming from aircraft NO</em>_<em>x</em><em> emissions</em> and has been generated from 74 simulations performed with the ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry model (EMAC). The short-term impact on atmospheric ozone (O₃) from aircraft nitrogen oxide (NO_x) emissions is estimated for five regions (North America, Eurasia, South America, Africa and Australasia), three pressure altitudes (200, 250 and 300 hPa) and two seasons (July 1, 2014 representing the Northern summer and January 1, 2014 representing Northern winter) using three calculation methods: Eulerian tagging, Lagrangian tagging and perturbation. Each region has 28 points at which 0.5 Gg of NO are introduced in the form of a 15-min pulse emission.<br>Please consult the README file for further details.

本数据集配套于题为《飞行高度与航空器氮氧化物（NOₓ）排放引发的短期臭氧（O₃）气候变暖区域敏感性多方法评估》的期刊论文，其生成自ECHAM/MESSy大气化学模式（ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry model, EMAC）运行得到的74组模拟结果。针对北美、欧亚大陆、南美、非洲及大洋洲五个区域，200、250与300 hPa三个气压高度层，以及代表北半球夏季的2014年7月1日、代表北半球冬季的2014年1月1日两个季节，本研究采用欧拉示踪法（Eulerian tagging）、拉格朗日示踪法（Lagrangian tagging）与扰动法（perturbation）三种计算方法，估算了航空器氮氧化物排放对大气臭氧的短期影响。每个区域设有28个排放点，各点以15分钟脉冲形式注入0.5 Gg的一氧化氮（NO）。详细信息请参阅README文件。
