[{"name":"burgos-2020-aerosol-esm-2","title":"Aerosol optical properties from ten earth system models for the year 2010","summary":"This dataset presents the time series of modeled aerosol optical properties (light absorption and extinction) from ten earth system models.\r\n\r\nThe dataset covers the year 2010 and contains the above mentioned optical properties at wavelengths \u03bb = 440, 550, and 870 nm and for different values of the relative humidity (RH = 0, and between 40\u200a\u2013\u200a85 %). The variables are given for a variety of grid points representing latitude and longitude points covering the whole globe (for eight of the models) or given locations (the remaining two models).\r\n\r\nThe dataset can be used to evaluate models against in-situ measurements of aerosol optical properties.","citations":"Burgos, M.

The models with corrected data are ECMWF-IFS and OsloCTM3. For all other models, the data are the same as in version 1. Also, Dr. Zak Kipling and Dr. Julie Letertre-Danczak have been added as data creators. This version was used in the final accepted and published paper by Burgos et al. (2020).\r\n\r\n##### Version 1\r\nInitial release. After the release, it was found that the data files from the models ECMWF-IFS and OsloCTM3 are not valid. This version was used in the preprint discussion paper by Burgos et al. (2020).
