New parameters in FTP dissemination

Mass density of air

At the moment almost all of the chemical and aerosol species we disseminate and archive are expressed as mass mixing ratios (kg kg-1). While this might be enough for most of the users, some would prefer to convert the data to mass concentration values (kg m-3).

The conversion formula is simple. We are now providing density of dry air ("den") as a new parameter in the CAMS main global dissemination stream (CAMS_NREALTIME/ CAMS_GLOBAL). The parameter is available on pressure and model levels in both GRIB and NetCDF format from the ftp -serverFTP server (ftp://dissemination.ecmwf.int). The density fields are not archived in the MARS data archive and are not available through Web API service.

The new files are named as follows:

New parameters in data archive

These new aerosol diagnostic parameters are available from our mars data archive using the Web API service. They are not distributed via the ftp-server. Please read the service description if you haven't used it before.

To access test data please use dataset=cams_esuite keyword.

They are not distributed via the FTP server.

Announcing a new near-surface data service

We are introduction a new service to reduce the volume of data one would have to download to access near-surface values. We are making the lowest model level analyses and forecasts of atmospheric composition parameters available as separate files. The fields are based on same CAMS global modelling system.

In the new file names we are encoding level type information as ml60, the files can be found in the directory called CAMS_GLOBAL_ADDITIONAL:
