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 sufficient enough for most of the users, some would prefer to use convert the data to mass concentration values (kg m-3).

The conversion formula is simple and we . We are now providing air density density of dry air ("den") as a new parameter in the CAMS main global dissemination streams stream (CAMS_NREALTIME/ CAMS_GLOBAL). The parameter is available on pressure and model levels in both GRIB and NetCDF format from the FTP server (ftp://dissemination.ecmwf. The new files are named as int).

The air 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 aerosol parameters in

data archive

Several new aerosol diagnostic parameters are available from our MARS data archive using the Web API service. Please read the service description if you haven't used it before.

To access test data please use dataset=cams_esuite keyword. After the upgrade data will be available using keyword dataset=cams_nrealtime.

They are not distributed via the FTP server.

A new near-surface

data service

service

To reduce the volume of data one would have to download to access near-surface values we are introducing a new data service. 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.

TODO: Describe lowest model level service, location, file content, grant permissions to users

Code Block

In the new file names level type information is encoded as ml60, the files can be found in the directory called

CAMS_GLOBAL_ADDITIONAL:
