Model data set on rapid net HCl formation in the Antarctic spring
Introduction
This data repository provides access to the model data of the study by Lehmann et al., submitted to the Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry (2021). In this study the rapid net HCl formation in the Antarctic spring stratosphere is examined. HCl increases despite counteracting heterogeneous chemistry that typically would decrease HCl. The chemical mechanisms and the impact on ozone is investigated in detail using the Pathway Analysis Program (PAP) (Lehmann, 2004).

Data access
The data set provided on this web site is taken from the model CLaMS. The data set contains mixing ratios and reaction rates from the analysed example CLaMS box model simulation. Note that these are non-operational research data products, which have been made available to other scientists and the general public.
The data files contain the CLaMS box model results in the NetCDF format and the hourly simulation output as required by the PAP precedures in ASCII format. The files lehmann_analysis_STD_HTR_00_(date).out with the date in the yymmddhh format are combined as zip arcive.Legal notes
