SO4 (Sulfate) Plots from CCSM3 runs


Home Research SO4 Plots

Plots created with output from model runs by Phil Rasch, specifically volc2 - volcanic aerosol sized particles injected into the stratosphere. These were made while attempting to generate an aerosol input dataset for geoengineering simulations.

SO4 Concentrations, Seasonally and Annually averaged (kg/kg) SO4 Conc SO4 1-D Mass, etc - Vertically, Zonally, Annually avgd SO4 1-D Mass
SO4 Concentration and Layer Mass for December. Zonal Avg DEC SO4 Conc
      and Mass SO4 Concentration and Layer Mass. Annual, Zonal Avg ANN SO4 Conc
      and Mass
Methods of column integrating (SO4).
--Method one used ilev as the pressure level
--Method two uses P(k,j,i)=hyai(k)*p0 + hybi(k)*ps(i,j) methods of
      column integrating SO4

      and Mass

Looking at the input file for volcanic aerosols; the file we are mimicking to create so4 input file
