DESIRE: Chemical traces and meteorological measurements from TOMCAT model

DESIRE (Dynamics of the Earth System and the Ice-Core Record) was part of QUEST (Quantifying and Understanding the Earth System) Theme 2.

This dataset contains measurements of chemical traces and meteorological from the TOMCAT (Tropospheric Offline Model of Chemistry and Transport model), as part of the Work Package 1.3.

The aim of this work package was to identify any atmospheric chemical signal preserved in the ice-core record that could be used to differentiate between the influences on atmospheric methane of changes in methane emissions and changes in oxidising capacity between the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) and the pre-industrial era (PI). A series of experiments was carried out using the Cambridge parallelised-Tropospheric Offline Model of Chemistry and Transport (p-TOMCAT; v2.0 beta), the results to which are contained in this dataset.
