Data access

The data is now available from the Atmosphere Data Store (ADS), either interactively through its download web form or programmatically using the CDS API service:

Model levels: 1/to/137, which are described at https://wwwconfluence.ecmwf.int/endisplay/forecasts/documentation-and-support/137-model-levelsUDOC/L137+model+level+definitions. Before 9 July 2019, the vertical levels were 60, which are described at https://wwwconfluence.ecmwf.int/endisplay/forecasts/documentation-and-support/60-model-levelsUDOC/L60+model+level+definitions.

Parameter listings

Physical characteristics of the different types of aerosols (i.e mass density, the radius mode and geometric standard deviation of the lognormal size distribution and the bin limits and hygroscopic factor), are available in Rémy et al. (2019). The suggested reference for the IFS aerosol optical properties and hygroscopic growth tables is Bozzo at al (2020).
