DATEM - Data Archive of Tracer Experiments and Meteorology

Project Overview

This pilot study incorporated data from several dispersion experiments, which represent a collection of more than 19,000 air concentration samples, meteorological analysis fields and statistical analysis programs based upon the ATMES-II evaluation of ETEX. The availability of meteorological re-analysis archives, at several international centers, provides an opportunity to link high quality modern meteorological data with the data from many older long-range tracer experiments. Below is access to experimental data, relevant reports, meteorological data, statistical analysis, and display software, all in a common format for PC or UNIX applications. This data base permits the atmospheric transport modeling community with the ability to conduct various verification and sensitivity studies and compare model results with each other on a common basis. Currently, only longer range (10s to 1000s of km downwind) experimental data are considered, consistent with the spatial and temporal resolution of the meteorological re-analysis data. Users of the data base are encouraged to share any additional analysis software that they develop and prepare and submit additional experimental data to the archive. See the summary document Data Archive of Tracer Experiments and Meteorology for more detailed information on the contents of the DATEM archive.
