Chemistry contribution to stratospheric ozone depletion after the unprecedented water-rich Hunga Tonga eruption

This datasets provide basis of our analysis in the paper - Chemistry contribution to stratospheric ozone depletion after the unprecedented water-rich Hunga Tonga eruption. We run two different nudged cases: the volcano case with forcing (SO2 and H2O injection) from the HTHH eruption and the control case with no forcing (no SO2 or H2O injection) from the HTHH eruption. The difference between these two nudged simulations gives information about the chemistry contribution to stratospheric ozone depletion after the HTHH eruption. Only the datasets used in analysis are archived here.

The data archived here is about 28GB in the Netcdf format. It has a horizontal resolution of 0.9° latitude × 1.25° longitude, and 110 vertical levels, with a vertical resolution of ~500m in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere.
