Supplementary dataset for “A multi-method assessment of the regional sensitivities between flight altitude and short-term O3 climate warming from aircraft NOx emissions"

This dataset accompanies the journal article entitled A multi-method assessment of the regional sensitivities between flight altitude and short-term O3 climate warming from aircraft NOx emissions and has been generated from 74 simulations performed with the ECHAM/MESSy Atmospheric Chemistry model (EMAC). The short-term impact on atmospheric ozone (O3) from aircraft nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions is estimated for five regions (North America, Eurasia, South America, Africa and Australasia), three pressure altitudes (200, 250 and 300 hPa) and two seasons (July 1, 2014 representing the Northern summer and January 1, 2014 representing Northern winter) using three calculation methods: Eulerian tagging, Lagrangian tagging and perturbation. Each region has 28 points at which 0.5 Gg of NO are introduced in the form of a 15-min pulse emission.
