This repository contains the input data for Dust Constraints from joint Observational-Modelling-experiMental analysis – DustCOMM Version 1. The DustCOMM code is publicly available at http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2620556, while the DustCOMM output dataset is similarly available at http://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2620475 Below, we give a brief description of each file: 1. model_dust_concentration -- Simulated 3-D dust concentration (ug/m3) from 6 model simulations. This folder contains both annually-averaged and seasonally-averaged model simulations. 2. model_dust_Vweight -- 3-D model dust vertical weight used in DustCOME. This is calculated from the modeled dust concentration. This folder contains both annually-averaged and seasonally-averaged model simulations. 3. DAOD_clim_reanalysis_all.nc -- Constrained annually-averaged dust aerosol optical depth. See Adebiyi et al. Geoscientific Model Development for details 4. DAOD_seas_reanalysis_all.nc -- Constrained seasonally-averaged dust aerosol optical depth. See Adebiyi et al. Geoscientific Model Development for details 5. DustCOMM_lat.nc -- Latitude array used in DustCOMM. Dimension = 96. 6. DustCOMM_lon.nc -- Longitude array used in DustCOMM. Dimension = 144. 7. DustCOMM_lev.nc -- Altitude (hPa) array used in DustCOMM. Dimension = 48. 8. Globally_averaged_dust_PSD.mat -- Constrained Globally-averaged dust size distribution from Kok et al, Nature Geoscience, 2017. 9. Size_resolved_ext_eff.mat -- Constrained Globally-averaged dust extinction efficiency from Kok et al, Nature Geoscience, 2017. If you have any question, please email the aadebiyi@ucla.edu.
