Box model simulation results and plotting script for oil particle study

This repository contains the LCM box model simulation results and the plotting script to reproduce the figures of the publication Zink, J., Unterstrasser, S., & Jurkat‐Witschas, T. (2025). On the potential role of lubrication oil particles in contrail formation for kerosene and hydrogen combustion. Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, 130, e2025JD043487. https://doi.org/10.1029/ 2025JD043487 Please follow the steps to reproduce the figures: Download and unzip the archive file. Navigate to the destination folder and install the virtual environment(e.g., in a Miniforge prompt) using:conda env create --file venv_PlottingOil.yml Activate the virtual environment with: conda activate venv_PlottingOil Reproduce the figures by running: python PlottingScript.py The figures are saved in the (created) subdirectory './Plots'. The subdirectory './Data' contains the box model results stored in different NetCDF files.Metadata descriptions of the relevant box model input and output variables are included in the NetCDF files.
