SDL 'Climate Science' | Data Repositories
Introduction
This web site provides access to research data sets created by team members of the Simulation and Data Laboratory 'Climate Science' at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Forschungszentrum Jülich, in Germany and collaboration partners. The focus is on data sets related to atmospheric science.
Data sets
AIRS/Aqua Observations of Gravity Waves
This data repository provides access to gravity wave observations of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) aboard NASA's Aqua satellite. Information on stratospheric gravity wave activity at about 30-40 km altitude is derived from radiance measurements in the 4.3 and 15 micron CO2 fundamental bands. AIRS is sensitive to gravity waves with long vertical wavelengths, but provides good horizontal resolution due to the nadir observation geometry.
access
AIRS/Aqua Observations of non-LTE Emissions
This data repository provides access to observations of carbon dioxide non-LTE emissions provided by the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) aboard NASA's Aqua satellite. The data are derived by a brightness temperature differencing technique using radiance measurements in the 4.3 and 15 μm carbon dioxide fundamental bands.
access
AIRS/Aqua Observations of Volcanic Emissions
This data repository provides access to volcanic emission observations of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) aboard NASA's Aqua satellite. Volcanic emissions are detected based AIRS radiance measurements using brightness temperature difference (BTD) methods. Emissions of volcanic sulfur dioxide (SO2) are detected by analyzing spectral features in the 7.3 micron waveband. Volcanic ash is detected based on reverse absorption features at 8.1 and 9.2 microns.
access
CLaMS Data Repository
This data repository provides access to various data sets derived from simulations by the Chemical Lagrangian Model of the Stratosphere (CLaMS) developed at the Institute of Energy and Climate Research (IEK-7) in Jülich.
access
IASI Stratospheric Temperature Retrieval
This data repository provides access to a stratospheric temperature retrieval product of the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI) aboard the European MetOp satellites. The retrieval was conducted using IASI radiance measurements in the 4.3 and 15 micron CO2 fundamental bands. The analysis was restricted to the time period from 2007 to 2018 using measurements of IASI/MetOp-A.
access
Infrared Reference Spectra
This data repository provides access to simulated infrared radiance spectra for a range of atmospheric conditions and satellite observation geometries. The spectra cover the range from 650 to 2650 cm-1 (3.77 to 15.4 microns), with a spectral sampling and resolution of 0.05 cm-1. Spectroscopic data were taken from the HITRAN2k database.
access
Jülich MeteoCloud
The Jülich MeteoCloud is a joint data repository for meteorological data sets, climate model data, and satellite observations. The MeteoCloud is operated by the Institute of Energy and Climate Research (IEK-7 and IEK-8), the Institute of Bio- and Geosciences (IBG-3), and the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC). This web site provides basic user information and an overview on the data sets available in the archive.
access
JURASSIC Data Repository
The Juelich Rapid Spectral Simulation Code (JURASSIC) is a fast infrared radiative transfer model for the analysis of atmospheric remote sensing measurements. This data repository provides access to input data and simulation results of the JURASSIC model developed at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC).
access
MPTRAC Data Repository
Massive-Parallel Trajectory Calculations (MPTRAC) is a Lagrangian particle dispersion model for the analysis of atmospheric transport processes in the troposphere and stratosphere. This data repository provides access to input data and simulation results of the MPTRAC model developed at the Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC).
access
MIPAS/Envisat Observations of Ice Clouds, Aerosol, Ash
This data repository provides access to MIPAS aerosol and cloud detections between July 2002 to April 2012. The MIPAS measurements cover the latitude range from 87°S to 89°N and include day and night measurements. For each tangent point the cloud index, aerosol-cloud index, and flags indicating the presence of clouds, clear air, aerosol, and volcanic ash are provided. The browse images show the top altitudes for ice clouds, aerosol, and ash.
access
MIPAS/Envisat Observations of Polar Stratospheric Clouds
This data repository provides access to the climatology of polar stratospheric clouds (PSC) observations of the Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding (MIPAS) onboard the Envisat satellite of the European Space Agency (ESA). The MIPAS instrument operated from July 2002 until April 2012. The infrared limb emission measurements provide a unique data set of day and night observations of polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs) up to both poles.
access
Reanalysis Tropopause Data Repository
This data repository provides access to tropopause parameters estimated from meteorological reanalyses. Currently, the repository covers ERA5, ERA-Interim, MERRA-2, and the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis 1. The tropopause data files provide geopotential height, pressure, temperature, and water vapor volume mixing ratio for the WMO 1st and 2nd tropopause, the cold point, and the dynamical tropopause.
access
Volcanic SO2 Emission Inventory
This data repository provides access to sulfur dioxide emission estimates of volcanic eruptions during the years 2002 to present. The emission estimates have been derived from AIRS/Aqua satellite observations in combination with Lagrangian transport simulations. The work was conducted as part of the DFG-NSFC project AeroTrac.
