The dataset includes model output from the ACCESS-AM2 model corresponding to the MARCUS (Measurements of Aerosols, Radiation and Clouds over the Southern Oceans) 2017-2018 voyages and the CAMMPCAN (Chemical and Mesoscale Mechanisms of Polar Cell Aerosol Nucleation) 2018-2019 voyages. The MARCUS voyages included a limited number of CAMMPCAN instruments while the CAMMPCAN voyages included the full suite of instruments. The model version used was ACCESS-AM2 (Australian Community Climate and Earth-System Simulator - Atmospheric Model Version 2) run with CMIP6 AMIP configuration, nudged with ERA5 reanalysis and full chemistry switched on. The model was configured with a horizontal resolution of 1.25◦ latitude and 1.875◦ longitude and 85 vertical levels. ACCESS-AM2 uses the UK Met Office’s Unified Model Global Atmosphere (UM10.6 GA7.1) as the atmosphere module, the Community Atmosphere Biosphere Land Exchange model version 2.5 (CABLE2.5) as the land-surface module and the Global Model of Aerosol Processes ... : Observations were supported by funding from the Australian Antarctic Program (4431 - CAMMPCAN – Chemical and Mesoscale Mechanisms of Polar Cell Aerosol Nucleation) ...
