OCFLEXPART: Global Daily Organic Carbon Aerosol Concentrations and Deposition

A global simulation of organic carbon aerosol concentrations and daily deposition from the FLEXPART Lagrangian particle dispersion model version 10.4. The model code is open source and freely available. The dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling global aerosol transport patterns based on the Lagrangian particle dispersion simulation.
• Analyzing organic carbon deposition (wet+dry) for climate impact studies based on the daily deposition data.
• Validating other atmospheric models based on the simulated global concentration fields.

Strengths

• Based on the open-source FLEXPART Lagrangian particle dispersion model version 10.4.
• Provides global spatial coverage at a 1 x 1 degree resolution.
• Includes both concentration and daily deposition (wet+dry) data.

Limitations

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