Ryder, Nicolas Bellouin, Stephanie Woodward, Anthony Jones and Ben Johnson Date: 29/2/2024 If you use this data, please cite the DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.10722717 Mean dust mass concentration profile in Junes 2010-2014 from the Met Office Unified Model HadGEM3-GA7.1 simulation over four box regions. Mass concentration (in ug m-3) is separated into six size bins (0.063-0.2, 0.2-0.632, 0.632-2, 2-6.32, 6.32-20 and 20-63.2) by particle diameter (um). The altitude is given in metres. Values at ambient conditions. Mass concentration files are named '[location]_dust_mean.txt'. The box regions which the dust mass concentrations are averaged over are listed here: Sahara region: 17-28N, 12W-3E Canaries region: 28-35N, 22-12W Cape Verde region: 12-21N, 26-18W Caribbean region: 11-19N, 65-56W The AOD (aerosol optical depth) file is saved as 'aod_mean.txt'. The AOD data is available between 1S-47N and 69W-2W.
