This dataset contains O3 concentration measurements. Oxidant and Particle Photochemical Processes above a South-East Asian tropical rain forest (OP3-Danum-08) is a 3-year Consortium Grant of the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC), beginning 1 October 2007. The objectives of the OP3 project are (i) to understand how emissions of reactive trace gases from a tropical rain forest mediate the production and processing of oxidants and particles in the troposphere, and (ii) to better understand the impact of these processes on local, regional and global scale atmospheric composition, chemistry and climate.

The European Arctic Stratospheric Ozone Experiment is a European Commission (EC) measurement campaign undertaken in the Northern Hemisphere winter of 1991-92 to study ozone chemistry and dynamics. This dataset contains ground based measurements of column abundance of ozone.

The Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) is an instrument built and operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The instrument uses backscattered ultraviolet radiance to infer total column ozone measurements. The dataset consists of daily gridded averages of total ozone covering the entire globe, in the form of images, from NASA NIMBUS 7, Meteor-3, Earth Probe and ADEOS satellites. Data is from 1978 to 2006. The Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on the AURA spacecraft, OMI data of ozone are now available for the entire OMI mission. In addition to ozone data, OMI data for aerosol and reflectivity are available. These datasets are public.

This dataset contains O3 fluxes measured at 75 m on GAW tower.

This dataset consists of version 2.7 gridded surface ozone metrics for atmospheric chemistry model evaluation. These data have global coverage on both monthly and annual timescales from 1971-2015. Multiple model resolutions were used and can be easily identified within the filename. Data are stored as NetCDF-4 files, with one file per model resolution at each time resolution. The files hold gridded surface ozone data from multiple databases (WMO GAW, EPA CASTNET, EPA AQS, Canadian CAPMON, Canadian NAPS, European EMEP, European AirBase, East Asian Acid Deposition Monitoring Network EANET), plus metadata. Metrics include the moments of the distribution, percentiles, maximum daily eight-hour average (MDA8), SOMO35, AOT40, and metrics related to air quality regulatory thresholds. In addition, metadata for all contributing sites (e.g. Site name, latitude, longitude) are included in each file.

Bodeker Scientific produced a global combined monthly mean vertical ozone profile database spanning the period 1979 to 2007. The database is completely filled such that there are no missing data. This database is used for assessing or constraining global climate model simulations. These data held at CEDA are a copy from Bodeker Scientific taken on November 2012.

The Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) is an instrument built and operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The instrument uses backscattered ultraviolet radiance to infer total column ozone measurements. The data consists of daily gridded averages of total ozone covering the entire globe. The original Nimbus-7 TOMS operated from November 1978 until May 1993. Meteor-3 TOMS was launched in August 1991 and operated until December 1994. These CDs contain the total ozone and UV radiance data.

This dataset consists of version 2.4 gridded surface ozone metrics for atmospheric chemistry model evaluation. These data have global coverage on both monthly and annual timescales from 1971-2015.

This dataset contains monthly mean ozone output between 1979-2016 simulated by the TOMCAT/SLIMCAT model. The data contains ozone and a passive odd-oxygen tracer that is set equal to the modelled chemical Ox =O(3 P)+O(1 D)+ O3 concentration on the first day every year and then advected passively without chemistry. It was simulated using the TOMCAT/SLIMCAT three-dimensional offline chemical transport model, using σ-p vertical coordinates and identical stratospheric chemistry and aerosol loading, solar flux input and surface mixing ratios of long-lived source gases. The long-term simulation (1979-2016) was performed with a T42 horizontal resolution of approximately 2.8° latitude × 2.8° longitude and 32 levels from the surface to 60 km. The model uses horizontal winds and temperature from the reanalysis data of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts. The TOMCAT/SLIMCAT model contains a detailed description of the distribution of chemical species for the troposphere and stratosphere including heterogeneous reactions on sulfate aerosols and liquid/solid polar stratospheric clouds either with a simple or full microphysical PSC scheme, as well as chemistry reactions of the oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, chlorine and bromine families. The model uses a hybrid σ-p or σ-θ vertical coordinate and has an option to run at different horizontal resolution forced by different meteorological reanalysis. Tracer transport uses the conservation of the second order moments scheme of Prather. Vertical advection is calculated from the divergence of the horizontal mass flux.

The overall aim of the UK Surface Ocean / Lower Atmosphere Study (UK SOLAS) is to advance understanding of environmentally significant interactions between the atmosphere and ocean, focusing on material exchanges that involve ocean productivity, atmospheric composition and climate. The knowledge obtained will improve the predictability of climate change and give insights into the distribution and fate of persistent pollutants. The dataset contains biological and chemical measurements such as: major nutrients and trace metal concentrations in aerosol and rain samples, chemical analyses of inorganic micro-nutrients, dissolved and particulate trace metal and carbon analyses, dissolved nitrogen and organic phosphate, biological measurements including phytoplankton pigments, bacteria, picoplankton and larger phytoplankton abundance.
