Three UK Earth Sysyem Model (UKESM1) hindcasts have been performed in support of the North Atlantic Climate System Integrated Study (ACSIS). Data is provided as raw model output in Met Office PP (32-bit) format that can be read by the Iris (https://scitools-iris.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) or cf-python (https://ncas-cms.github.io/cf-python/) libraries. This is global data at N96eL85 resolution (1.875 x 1.25, 85 model levels up to 85km). Simulations were performed on the Monsoon2 High Performance Computer (HPC). The following fields are contained in the dataset: O3, NO, NO2, CO, CH4, 4x Stratospheric O3 tracers, and 30x idealised tracers emitted from various locations (15 with a 5-day e-folding lifetime, and 15 with a 30-day e-folding lifetime). Data is provided in mass mixing ratio (kg species/kg air). ...
