Data underlying the publication "Global air quality and human health impacts of growing aircraft emissions"

Dataset

Description

This dataset contains the processed data that were directly used in the analyzes, figures, and tables of the article. The GEOS-Chem v13.3 atmospheric chemistry-transport model was used to quantify global human health impacts of aircraft emissions through the resulting increase in ground-level concentrations of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), ozone (O3), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the years 2005, 2019, and 2040 for multiple Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP). This dataset consists of the aircraft emissions used as input to the atmospheric simulations, atmospheric model outputs used for impact quantification, and the baseline mortality rates considered. Also included is additional output from atmospheric modeling of 2019 which was used in an intercomparison study against other atmospheric models. That intercomparison is described in a separate article, "Impact of present aircraft NOx and aerosol emissions on atmospheric composition and climate: results from a model intercomparison", by Yann Cohen et al. (preprint: EGUSphere, https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2025-4273), as noted in the README.txt file inside ./intercomp.7z.
