• README
• Images: p01_seasalt.png, p02_sulfate.png, p03_carbonaceous.png, p04_dust.png, p05_dust.png
• Raw data, representative aerosol distributions: g5aero_p01.bin, g5aero_p02.bin, g5aero_p03.bin, g5aero_p04.bin, g5aero_p05.bin
• Program to read data: g5pace_py.F90, and screen output from running original program as it is now
• Contact: Arlindo da Silva (arlindo.dasilva@nasa.gov)
• Info:
  • web page for original download
  • 5 sample aerosol profiles for you (layer aod, ssa, phase matrix, etc)
  • covering cases of seasalt, dust, carbonaceous and sulfate aerosols
  • points selected arbitrarily, see above plots for location of the points
  • fields came from the GEOS-5 meteorological and (MODIS) aerosol data assimilation system, run at 25km, globally
  • Although each case has a predominant aerosol type, all model aerosol species were included in the calculation. For example, the "sulfate case" has some amount of carbonaceous (externally) mixed in.
