(2020) The dataset is composed of 2424 netCDF (.nc) files containing multi-wavelength (λ = 440, 550, and 870 nm) particle light absorption and extinction coefficients for the year 2010. For λ = 550 there are, in addition, files for different values of relative humidity, for dry (RH = 0 %) and wet conditions (RH ranging from 40 to 85 %). Total size of dataset: 28 GB. The ten earth system models included in the database are: 1. Community Atmosphere Model version 5 (CAM5) 2. Aerosol Two-dimensional bin module for foRmation and Aging Simulation (CAM-ATRAS) 3. Georgia Institute of Technology-Goddard Global Ozone Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport model (GEOS-GOCART) 4. GEOS-Chem model (GEOS-Chem) 5. Tracer Model (TM5) 6. Oslo chemistry-transport model (OsloCTM3) 7. European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast - Integrated Forecasting20 System model (ECMWF-IFS) run in the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service conﬁguration 8. Global general circulation model ECHAM6 with the SALSA module (ECHAM6.3-SALSA2.0) 9. CAM5.3-Oslo model (CAM-OSLO) 10. Goddard Earth Observing System with the MERRA Aerosol Reanalysis (GEOS-MERRAero) For detailed information about data for each model, please see the associated README file.
