WRF-Chem Volcano output - Etna Christmas 2018 (run L0)

<p>Output from a model run of a modified version of&nbsp;WRF-Chem, which we refer to as WRF-Chem Volcano (WCV). At the time of submission of this dataset, these data were the basis of the modelling part of a paper submitted to Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Discussions (ACPD): &quot;WRF-Chem modelling and TROPOMI observations of halogen chemistry within the plume of Etna&#39;s Christmas 2018 eruption&quot;.</p> <p>The code of WCV is maintained&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/LukeSurl/WCV">here</a>. Development of this code will continue after the submission of this repository,&nbsp;<a href="https://github.com/LukeSurl/WCV/tree/20200521">This branch</a>&nbsp;is a permanent record of the code as used to create this dataset.<br> This is a simulation without any volcanic emissions, used to determine the difference caused by the volcano</p> <p>&quot;Run L0&quot; refers the internal serial number assigned to this model run.</p> <p><strong>Overview of files</strong></p> <p><strong><em>Output files: wrfout_d0*_YYYY-MM-DD_HH:MM:SS</em></strong></p> <p>Output&nbsp;data is contained in NetCDF files. Each file contains hourly snapshots of the 3D simulation with fields for various parameters. Most of the 4D (three spatial dimensions and time)&nbsp;variables record modelled mixing ratios of various species (in units ppm). Many other variables are standard WRF-Chem output variables; please see&nbsp;<a href="https://ruc.noaa.gov/wrf/wrf-chem/">WRF-Chem&#39;s documentation</a>.&nbsp;If the meaning of a variable is unclear, please&nbsp;<a href="mailto:luke.surl@latmos.ipsl.fr?subject=WCV%20run%20L2%20dataset">contact the author</a>.</p> <p>Files are separated by model domain and by time. The &quot;d0x&quot; value specifies the model domain.&nbsp;Domain 1 is the full extent of the modelled area and has grid cells of 30 km&nbsp;&times; 30 km. Domains 2, 3, 4 each model a successively smaller area subset at a 3x greater resolution than their parent domain. Please see the ACPD&nbsp;paper for further details on this.</p>
