Data underlying the PhD thesis: The Climate Impact of Hypersonic Aircraft

The datasets contain data to plot figures part of the related dissertation. Results are based on simulations of the atmosphere with the Earth system models EMAC and LMDZ-INCA. The research objective was to evaluate the climate impact of civil hypersonic aircraft. The first step is to calculate middle atmospheric changes caused by hypersonic emission of water vapour, hydrogen and nitrogen oxides. The second step is to calculate the radiative forcing and mean surface temperature change following the change in atmospheric composition.

本数据集提供了支撑相关学位论文部分图表绘制的实验数据。所有结果均基于采用EMAC与LMDZ-INCA两款地球系统模型（Earth system models）开展的大气模拟实验。本研究的目标为评估民用高超音速飞行器的气候影响，具体分为两个步骤：第一步为计算由高超音速飞行器排放的水蒸气、氢气及氮氧化物所引发的中层大气变化；第二步为计算因大气成分改变所产生的辐射强迫与平均地表温度变化。
