Atmosphere: thermophysical properties#
An atmospheric thermophysical property data set provides the spatial variation of air pressure, air temperature, air number density and individual species volume mixing ratios.
Data access#
All atmospheric thermophysical property data sets sets required by Eradiate are managed the data store (see Introduction for details).
Identifier format#
Identifiers for thermophysical property data sets are constructed based on the
format {author}_{year}-{title}
where:
author
specifies the author of the data set,year
stands for the year in which the data set was published,title
is the data set title.
Structure#
Atmospheric thermophysical property data sets include four data variables:
air pressure (
p
),air temperature (
t
),air number density (
n
),individual species volume mixing ratios (
mr
),
layer altitude (
z_layer
),individual species (
species
),
and one non-dimension coordinate:
level altitude (
z_level
).
Data variables p
, t
and n
are tabulated against z_layer
.
Data variable mr
is tabulated against species
and z_layer
.
