AeroCom Data base explanation
Location
A
data server (aerocom-users.met.no) allows users to acces
the AeroCom data via ssh with a pass phrase protected
ssh key.
Access
Conditions
for access to the AeroCom data server:
- A short project description of the planned analysis is send to AeroCom
contact (michael.schulz@met.no)
- An account is opened upon sending a request for an account to michael.schulz@met.no and annac@met.no
- The project description is made available to AeroCom participants
via the wiki page
- Results from analysis are reported to AeroCom workshops
- Publication-Coauthorship is offered to model and data author. See data policy
Directory structure
Each Model data set is identified by a unique $MODEL-VERSION_EXPERIMENT name stored in
one directory /metno/aerocom/users/aerocom1/$MODEL-VERSION_EXPERIMENT
The Directory-Name MODELEXP contains an indication to which AeroCom/HTAP/ACCMIP experiment the results belong.
The original results submitted have been often
harmonized and the final files are found in the "renamed" sub-directory.
------------
AeroCom A phase I
Model experiments from the original AeroCom A experiment
dont carry the experiment name.
------------
Aerocom phase I special experiments
B - harmonized emissions, runs performed 2004-2006
IND - Indirect effect simulations , runs performed 2004-2006
(runs are actually stored with Joyce Penner)
------------
Submissions for indirect effect study 2009
IND2-CTRL - Second Indirect Experiment organised by Johannes Quaas
IND2-PRE - Second Indirect Experiment organised by Johannes Quaas, preindustrial
------------
Add-on experiments 2010 organised by Dorothy Koch
IND2-BCFF, year 2000 emissions are used but fossil fuel BC emissions are set to zero.
IND2-BCOCBF year 2000 emissions are used but biofuel BC and OC are set to zero.
IND2-D using BC/OC with zero diesel emissions (soon to be provided)
IND2-WS using BC/OC with zero woodstove emissions (soon to be provided
------------
AeroCom phase II files submissions after 2009
A2.CTRL Aerocom Phase 2 control simulation
A2.PRE Aerocom Phase 2 control simulation, preindustrial emissions
HCA-0 Aerocom Phase 2 hindcast simulation
------------
