Protocol Overview
****** AEROCOM PHASE III ************
What is planned?
Please see the wiki page !! and the latest meeting presentations
How to submit data to the database? see here
****** PHASE AEROCOM II Diagnostics Table version 2009 ********
To facilitate aerosol model data comparisons it is proposed to
implement ONE standard output for a given model.
See for explanations and details the latest excel file (updated 24 October 09 MS):
AeroCom_diagnostics.xls
Simplified list with all 2D&3D variables in html
For harmonized output with
CMOR
the corresponding AEROCOM CMOR tables
See example files of model output here:
AEROCOM CMOR example files
Please also document model with the
COST model database

****************** 1st AeroCom Phase *************************
AeroCom experiment A (finished)
The first phase of AeroCom has asked for monthly
and daily output
for the years 1996-1997-2000-2001 or climatologically mean.
Further Details describe
formatting issues.
AeroCom experiment B (year 2000) and PRE ( year 1750) (finished)
Prescribed emissions used in association with meteorology
of year 2000
In principal idientical diagnostics as for AeroCom A
PLUS
