EAMv1: Compressed Simulation Output for Aerosol Process Coupling Schemes

EAMv1 simulation output from the Energy Exascale Earth System Model compares two aerosol process coupling schemes. The dataset contains annually averaged and 6-hourly output from transient simulations using the F20TRC5-CMIP6 compset. Hui Wan of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory produced this data, with source code and analysis scripts available on Zenodo.

Use Cases

• Compare aerosol-climate interactions based on the two coupling schemes (cflx_1 and cflx_2) described in the simulation output.
• Analyze temporal atmospheric variability based on the 6-hourly simulation data files.
• Validate Earth system model components using the processed output from the F20TRC5-CMIP6 compset.
• Study vertical atmospheric profiles based on the two vertical resolution levels (L30 and L72) included in the data.

Strengths

• Output is available at two temporal resolutions: annually averaged and 6-hourly.
• Simulations were run with two distinct vertical resolutions (L30 and L72).
• Provenance is documented with specific Zenodo records for source code (7995850) and analysis scripts (10371316).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
